University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening ...

A research team from POSTECH has developed a biodegradable polymer-based delivery system that efficiently transports mRNA.

Imprinting molecular memory on the surface of polymer nanoparticles creates artificial antibodies that can recognize and neutralize a toxic peptide in vivo. Like a hand in a glove, antibodies fit ...

By trapping silver nanoparticles within a polymer matrix, researchers can manipulate particle size and, consequently, the color emitted under UV light. Larger polymer nets yield silver ...

Slips and falls account for millions of injuries each year. Researchers in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces took inspiration from gecko feet to create a slip-resistent polymer made from silicone ...

A gecko-inspired slip-resistant polymer could be incorporated into shoe soles to prevent people slipping on ice and other slippery surfaces.

Researchers have developed a way to print nanoparticles like ink, creating inexpensive sweat sensors that can continuously monitor multiple molecules.

The assembly of nanoparticles in polymer films is driven by a complex combination of both enthalpic and entropic effects. Careful control of these factors during preparation can lead to finely ...

Geckos are able to maintain a grip on wet surfaces not because their toe pads repel water, but because they attract it. A new ...

Essentially, the tufts of tiny hairs on gecko feet get so close to the contours in walls and ceilings that electrons from the ...
