A Jilin University team has reported a novel strategy using pressure engineering to identify the organic–inorganic ...

In this video interview from Pittcon, we ask Christopher Palmer about developing novel polymeric materials for microscale liquid phase separations, as well as some of the current trends and challenges ...

Spider silk, already known for its exceptional strength, reveals an astonishing manufacturing process. Researchers have ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

When spiders spin their webs, they use their hind legs to pull silk threads from their spinnerets. This pulling action doesn't just help the spider ...

Kanazawa University, observe the configuration of different dipeptides on graphite electrodes and the subsequent arrangement of catalytic hemin on them to get an idea of the factors affecting its ...

The key to jelly is collagen, the most abundant protein in the body and a fundamental component ... When bones are boiled in water over extended periods, heat disrupts the hydrogen bonds stabilising ...
