Macromolecular crowding with polymers such as PEG promoted the formation of synthetic DNA nanostar droplets and allowed researchers to control their interactions and self-organized patterns.
Background Shell color formation is an important physiological process in bivalves, the molecular genetic basis has potential application in bivalve aquaculture, but there is still remaining unclear about this issue. The cystine/glutamate transporter... Uncover the latest and most impactful…
The material could simplify the production of touch sensors and small devices that harvest energy from movement. The fibers use the same basic phenomenon behind static electricity: electrical charges arise when different materials touch and separate. A device can collect…
A DFT-guided magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer enables rapid, selective enrichment of four trace diethyl acetals in light-aroma Baijiu, revealing preliminary concentration patterns across commercial samples of different labeled vintages. Subject of Research: Development of a DFT-guided magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer…
Indian researchers developed PVP-PEG-gelatin hydrogels that released L-theanine slowly over 48 hours, with nanoparticle encapsulation slowing release further while showing strong antioxidant activity in vitro.
All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in the funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements. All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of…
NSF program directors will host a webinar about the NSF Molecular Foundations for Sustainability: Sustainable Polymers Enabled by Emerging Data Analytics (MFS-SPEED) program solicitation (NSF 24-567)... Molecular Foundations for Sustainability: Sustainable Polymers Enabled by Emerging Data Analytics NSF program directors will…
Safe collaboration between humans and machines The work is far from over: The researchers want to make their soft ceramic sensors even more sensitive and intelligent. This involves combining new ceramic materials and soft polymers and optimizing their sensor properties.
A continuous-wave laser study finds strong third-order nonlinear optical responses in MEH-PPV and PBDB-T polymer solutions, with diffraction-ring dynamics revealing both electronic Kerr and thermo-optic mechanisms.
Chitosan films reinforced with acid-modified cellulose nanocrystals from Moroccan Alfa plant and silver nanoparticles showed formulation-dependent gains in tensile strength and water vapor barrier performance.
New polymers and how they behave: polymer synthesis, structure and properties, elastomers, fibres and self-healing polymers.
