Motivated by elegant biological helical structures, considerable effort has been devoted to developing artificial helical ...

According to a study published in Advanced Functional Materials, the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) ...

Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers from Hiroshima ...

Most current methods for storing DNA require freezing temperatures, so they consume a great deal of energy and are not feasible in many parts of the world. In contrast, the new amber-like polymer ...

Polymers, such as plastics, are essential in many aspects of life and industry, from packaging and cars to medical devices ...

MIT researchers have developed a new catalyst that converts methane into polymers at room temperature and atmospheric ...

For example, Johnson and coworkers have developed a novel method that for the first time enables direct counting of loops within polymer gels. Using this new data, we have been able to develop and ...

A new design by researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science could solve the ...
