Researchers at Ames Laboratory are experimenting with chemical reactions that decompose lignin models at low temperatures and pressures

New kit delivers all the advantages of polymer stains including low background staining, high signal intensity, and the elimination of off- target binding

There is a high level of interest, both in research and industry, in developing microsensors made from non-toxic materials that are also biodegradable

This finding could lead to soft robotics, liquid circuitry, shape-shifting fluids, and a host of new materials that use soft, rather than solid, substances

The evolutionary path to first proteins may have been paved with relatively easy, small square-dance steps

Carbon fiber made with lignin would be more sustainable and less expensive than fibers currently being produced

Georgia Tech researchers have developed electrochromic film inks that are water-based

By altering the surface properties of polymer labware, manufacturers are improving the quality of test results while increasing value of products they create

Bioactive tissue paper made from organs is pliable enough to fold into origami structures

This polymer-based, ultrathin material can be produced using techniques already used in industry
