Silicon particles that could lead to the development of “biointerface” devices have been engineered by a group of scientists from the University of Illinois at Chicago, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University.
A new catalyst capable of making biodegradable plastics obtained from renewable materials has been developed by the IBM and Stanford chemists as a result of their long-standing partnership. This new invention holds promising alternatives to plastics produced from oil.
Scientists of Tomsk State University are working on changing physicochemical properties of zeolites using thermal and mechanical treatment. Based on the results of this research the scientists will be able to create a new material for a portable device for hemodialysis.
New measurements may have lifted the veil on the vexingly elusive interactions through which lithium can moderate the manic highs and debilitating lows experienced by people who suffer from bipolar disorder—about 2.6 percent of Americans, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Band gaps in spider silk have been found by Rice University Scientists in Singapore and Europe.
The biodegradable polymer polylactic acid, also known as PLA, is widely used in manufacturing of various products, ranging from disposable cups, to drug delivery systems, to medical implants.
To create an eco-friendly substitute for petroleum-based plastic and minimize pollution during the degradation process, students from the University of Sonora (UNISON) Campus Caborca, developed a bioplastic based on starch tabasco banana and propolis, of easy development and with different ecological applications such as creating bags with antibacterial properties and compost.
Trinitrotoluene or TNT has been considered as the standard measure for explosives for 100 years, although new high-energy-density materials or HEDMs outperform this substance in terms of explosion power, safety, but also environmental compatibility.
A team of materials scientists have developed a new material that behaves like a cell membrane found in nature. Researchers have been seeking similar materials for applications such as drug delivery and water purification.
A team of researchers at Princeton University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Merck & Co. has developed a cost-effective and complementary approach to a fundamental chemical reaction known as a C-N bond coupling, which is a staple of modern drug development.
