Material scientists from North Carolina State University (NCSU) in the US, together with colleagues from Boston University and Kraton Corporation, have developed a novel self-sterilizing polymer that efficiently inactivates microorganisms, including SARS-CoV-2.
Knowing the physical and chemical properties of polymeric materials is essential for developing efficient material processing methods for the manufacturing and recycling of plastic products. This information is vital when predicting material performance during a product's lifetime or troubleshooting when a material does not perform as expected.

While modern cancer therapies are continually evolving and improving patient outcomes and quality of life, tumor heterogeneity and the variability of tumors between patients generate individual differences in patient responses to drug therapies. This presents a significant barrier to the overall efficacy of cancer drug therapies.
Technical ceramics offer exceptional size-to-weight benefits, high-temperature resistance, and chemical stability in space programs, all of which open up possibilities for transportation and exploration.
