Plastics underpin much of modern life—areas like medicine, technology, and food safety would be unrecognizable without plastics and their useful properties. However, the toughness of plastics, which ...

An Ehime University research team directed by H. Shimomoto and E. Ihara has developed a new molecular design strategy that imparts degradability to carbon–carbon (C–C) backbone polymers. The study, ...

A research study describes a systematic high-throughput design approach for virtual screening and creation of novel polypeptide-based molecules that form regular secondary structures that can be used ...

A research group comprising Shun Nanjo, a graduate student at The Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), Arifin, a researcher at JSR Corporation, Professor Teruaki Hayakawa from ...

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nanite Inc. announced today the closing of a $6M seed investment round to advance their AI-driven polymer design platform focused on next-generation, non-viral gene delivery.

Organic cathodes have long been sought after for safe, sustainable, and recyclable energy storage, yet their development has been hampered by solubility, low voltage, and poor conductivity. In this ...

With rapid advances in high-throughput computing, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, polymer informatics is emerging as a promising tool to ensure breakthrough ...

Soft actuators—materials that change shape in response to stimuli—are considered the foundation of the next generation of robots. These materials, which can bend, twist, contract, and expand, promise ...

Can we predict a polymer’s properties before we ever make it? We are seeking an undergraduate researcher for a hands-on project combining polymer chemistry, materials characterization, and machine ...
