Spiders don’t just spin webs—they engineer them. By stretching their silk as they spin, spiders strengthen the fibers at the ...

Nanobubbles (NBs) are tiny gas cavities with diameters around 200 nm that remain stable in solution due to their unique properties, including low buoyancy and negative surface charges. Ammonium ...

Spider silk is one of the most fascinating natural materials known to humans. It is more flexible than rubber yet tougher ...

Stretching spider silk aligns its proteins and strengthens fibers, a new study suggests. This could improve engineered silk ...

When they weave their webs, spiders pull their silk threads. New simulations show stretching during spinning causes the protein chains within the fibers to align and the number of hydrogen bonds ...

Imagine you are choosing between two similar investment options. One has a green label, promising to fund climate-friendly ...

A new study has unveiled the potential of hydrogen-bonding crosslinked supramolecular polymer materials derived from N-acryloyl glycinamide (NAGA).

Protein can be found in many foods, but certain options can be better than others. From chicken to egg whites, consider these foods to pack your diet with protein. Protein is an essential ...

For athletes and active adults who don’t eat animal products, getting adequate protein from diet alone can be challenging. A vegan protein powder may help. Our dietitians vetted more than a ...

Nature ion channels play significant role in the living organisms, which can translocate physiological relevant ions across the cell membranes as demand. To simulate and replace the function of nature ...

Protein folding is the process by which proteins ... that fold rapidly, stabilized by hydrogen bonding and disulphide bridges, and then tertiary structure. Nwd1 −/− livers exhibited reduced ...
