A new method allows chemists to precisely place single monomers at any position within a polymer chain made of other types of monomers. With this single monomer, chemists can add various types of ...

Several hindrances to the recycling of synthetic polymers, including material separation and post-treatment degradation of the macromolecular polymer chains, negatively affect the cost-efficiency and ...

Synthetic biologists at Northwestern Engineering have developed a set of design rules that guide how ribosomes can incorporate new kinds of monomers — a step forward in using these cellular machines ...

Researchers at Purdue University have harnessed a protein in blood to assemble conducting polymers, potentially opening the ...
