In a discovery with wide-ranging implications, researchers recently announced that uniformly charged macromolecules -- or molecules, such as proteins or DNA, that contain a large number of atoms all ...

Making complex polymers with precisely controlled structures becomes much simpler thanks to a new ‘one-pot-and-one-step’ synthesis procedure. Research at Hokkaido University brings a new level of ...

Researchers at the University of Birmingham developed a novel technique for rapidly and scalably creating homogeneous nanostructures directly from block polymers. The study was published in Nature ...

Polyolefins are thermoplastics synthesized from ethylene and propylene, primarily sourced from oil, natural gas, and sugar cane. They constitute about 50 % of plastic consumption in Europe and ...
