When exposed to sunlight, a transparent protective coating material that can self-heal in 30 minutes has been created.
Chemists frequently use computer simulations as a guide—much like a compass helps an explorer efficiently reach a destination on their map—to effectively work out the specifics of a basic reaction notion they have in mind.
The demand for food high in protein is anticipated to rise along with the aging and expanding global population.

The WITec Paper Awards 2022 have been given to scientists from the US, Germany and China, recognizing their work in cement chemistry, pharmacy and methane hydrate chemistry.
Vaccine distribution faces big challenges, as the COVID crisis has shown. Now, a multidisciplinary research team has overcome some of the major issues that plague the distribution of biomedical materials.
Despite being some of the most versatile building blocks in organic chemistry, compounds called carbenes can be too hot to handle. In the lab, chemists often avoid using these highly reactive molecules due to how explosive they can be.
The University of Notre Dame has signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Midwest Regional Network to Address National Needs in Semiconductor and Microelectronics. The network will include 12 research universities in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio with the common goal of advancing semiconductor research, innovation and production.
Excessive carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel consumption lead to serious climate and environmental problems, such as increasing global average temperature and sea-level rise.
After four years of intensive research by the Netherlands Cancer Institute and the Dutch Mobius 3D Technology (M3DT), a titanium lower jaw was implanted for the first time in a head and neck cancer patient. The jaw was completely reconstructed based on the patient's 3D MRI & CT scans. The operation was successful.
A research team from the Basque Research and Technology Alliance and the University of the Basque Country in Spain have presented research on low creep aerospace grade epoxy vitrimers. The results of their study have appeared in the journal Polymers.
