Study by US scientists, published in the journal Nature Medicine, also found that dementia patients had up to 10 times as ...

Laser-driven proton-boron (pB) fusion has been gaining significant interest for energetic alpha particles production because of its neutron-less nature. This approach requires the use of B- and H-rich ...

It's a key problem that will need to be addressed if humans are to attempt deep-space, long-duration missions. Not only is radiation exposure a dangerous health risk to humans, but it also poses a ...

Their coating of a non-degradable polymer opens opportunities for particles to be used in localized drug- and gene-delivery in mucus-coated areas. This could include treatment of diseases such as ...

Microplastics, tiny plastic particles under 5 mm, significantly impact climate change by disrupting carbon cycles, oceanic ...

This illustration shows the C1 polymer formation, where the Pd-catalyst (red spere) is linearly combining a number of diazoacetate monomers (transparent sphere) to form the polymer main chain. Credit: ...

Microplastics are accumulating in human brains at alarming rates, with concentrations rising 50% in the past eight years.

Molecular subunits link to produce polymer chains that can connect through their backbones and cross-linked molecules to form multipurpose plastics. The makeup of polymer chains determines how ...

Researchers observed high levels of polyethylene and other polymers in water and sand near the Port of Tripoli.

Discover the power of hydrogel: researchers at Penn State mimic tissue behaviors using special hydrogels for potential ...

Carbon fiber is the most valuable and highest performing fiber in the composites industry. Its application in existing and ...
