A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based ...
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs), a prominent class of new psychoactive substances, pose growing challenges to public health due to their severe toxic effects and widespread global presence. In this study ...
Polymer-based gene delivery systems represent a promising class of non-viral vectors, offering significant advantages in safety, structural versatility, biodegradability, and the potential for ...
A loofah sponge referencing the material that inspired a new virus-filtering polymer.UTokyo A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo has created a new synthetic polymer inspired by the natural ...
A postfunctionalization strategy using blue LED light and an organophotoredox catalyst generates carbocation intermediates on polymer chains, enabling the incorporation of phosphonate esters. This ...
Self-reproduction is one of the most fundamental features of natural life. This study introduces a biochemistry-free method for creating self-reproducing polymeric vesicles. In this process, ...
