Initial findings confirm that the rods produced by Invibio Biomaterial Solutions (“Invibio”) are strong enough to treat lumbar spine instability. Summarising the studies, Dr Thierry Desjardins, a ...

A molecular membrane that allows select ions to cross with almost no friction could significantly boost the performance of flow batteries, fuel cells, and other devices critical to the world’s ...

Imagine a polymer with removable parts that can deliver something to the environment and then be chemically regenerated to function again. Or a polymer that can contract and expand the way muscles do.

Using known polymerization chemistry, Waite and co-authors made semi-rigid polyacrylate and more rigid polymethacrylate polymers containing pendant catechols protected with silyl groups. The polymers ...

Scientists have measured a thin film made of a single type of conjugated polymer — a conducting plastic — as it interacted with ions and electrons. They show how there are rigid and non-rigid regions ...

Semicrystalline polymers are known to have a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF), which is present at the interface of the amorphous phase and crystal due to the immobilization of a polymer chain caused by ...

Charting the future of cell phone technology, Kyocera recently unveiled a kinetic energy-powered phone that is capable of folding up like a wallet. Designed by industrial designer Susan McKinney, the ...

New computer design methods pave the way for scientists to design and assemble bundles of peptides. Peptides are compounds of amino acids, organic substances that make up proteins. These new design ...
