Engineers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison pioneered a method called Solvent-Targeted Recovery and Precipitation (STRAP) processing in recycling plastics.
Silk, despite its fine fibers, is known as fairly durable material. Combining the natural substance with synthetic components, new composite material can be used for biomedical implants.
Researchers from the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory further developed their innovative battery technology to show unprecedented fire resistance.
The new technique had two different, inconsistent patterns with one forming a set of posts or lines etched on a substrate material, and the other is an inherent pattern that is created by the self-assembling copolymer
Things that are made up of polymers feel, look and act depending on their molecules and atoms which are connected. Researchers tried new techniques to improve the strength of the materials.
If you’ve ever been pulled out to sea by a riptide you know the true power of the oceans. When a tide changes, waves can crash down on the shores with immense power, and if you’re destined to live on these shores you’d obviously have to endure a lot. And in a new study published this week in the journal of the Royal Society Interface, researchers from the University of Portsmouth and the Queen Mary University of London are revealing just how much.
