People around the world eat bread regularly, but the way they store it isn't always the same. In most households, ...

Plastic pollution is a mounting global issue, but scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have taken a bold step forward by creating a new bioplastic inspired by the structure of leaves.

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the progression of numerous diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence ...

Curved molecules that absorb sunlight, store the energy, and re-release it as heat are pushing the boundaries in solar thermal storage technology.

The Structure of Ice in Space Is Neither Order nor Chaos—It’s Both Long thought to be completely disordered, space ice appears to have some crystallized regions, new research suggests.

Therefore, additional treatments, such as chemical modification or plasticization, are necessary to facilitate processing through extrusion, injection, or compression molding. 6 Plasticization is ...

This study evaluates the feasibility of modifying thermoplastic starch using citric acid through extrusion processing. The samples were characterized by FTIR, TGA, XRD, and tensile testing. In the ...

The structure showed 12 transmembrane helices in two pseudo-symmetric bundles and two periplasmic subdomains. Experiments showed that the coiled-coil domain, whose predicted model extends from one of ...

A network meta-analysis of randomized trials found that balanced crystalloids reduced 90-day mortality more than low-molecular-weight hydroxyethyl starch and saline in patients with sepsis or ...
