New formulations of nanopesticides with natural ingredients have appeared in specialized literature using terms such as "green pesticide," "ecological," "based on natural elements," and "with natural ...

Batteries are typically held together by chemicals that don’t easily degrade. However, some marine animals have evolved ...

Researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) designed a biodegradable, energy efficient artificial synapse that uses a layered structure made from naturally-derived ...

Air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide (NO2), primarily produced during fossil fuel combustion, pose a serious concern for human health, contributing to respiratory diseases like pulmonary edema, ...

Amerigo Scientific reinforced its commitment to advancing the biomedical field by offering biomedical polymers tailored ...

Seeing plastic trash while hiking inspired a Rutgers chemist to rethink why synthetic plastics last forever while natural polymers don’t. By mimicking tiny structural features used in DNA and proteins ...

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest challenges for the modern world, due largely to the fact that most plastics are produced without permanent recyclability in mind. The plastic water bottles, ...

Scientists have identified a way to control how and when synthetic polymers break apart. The discovery suggests that everyday materials could one day be designed to vanish, or transform, right on ...

Rutgers researchers use a principle in nature to create plastics that self-destruct at programmed speeds, offering a solution to global plastic waste Yuwei Gu was hiking through Bear Mountain State ...
