Japanese researchers have created biodegradable polymer capsules from plant- and lipid-based molecules, offering a sustainable alternative to microplastics used in cosmetics, fragrances, and ...

Precisely controlling the thickness of two-dimensional polymers (2DPs) is challenging. Now, crystalline monolayer and bilayer 2DPs are synthesized by embedding macrocyclic molecules in the polymer ...

Isolating a metal-free isodiazomethyl anion has been a longstanding challenge. Now, an isodiazomethyl anion stabilized by a cyclic boryl group has been isolated and structurally characterized. The ...

Australian researchers have developed a high‑performance coating made from peppermint essential oil that can be applied to the surfaces of many commonly used medical devices, offering a safer way to ...
