Polymers, the basis of all plastics, usually do not have an ordered structure, in contrast to biopolymers such as proteins.
Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for being a fire hazard due to their flammable organic electrolytes. As such, there has been much effort to utilize water-based electrolytes as a safer alternative.
A small guest molecule in the right place makes it possible to produce energy-efficient organic solar cells using eco-friendly solvents.
If you had a jar of marbles of many different colors but wanted only the green ones, how could you efficiently pick them out- What if it wasn't marbles but a jar of glitter, and there was sand, glue, and mud mixed in- That begins to describe the complexity of the brine pumped out from beneath California's Salton Sea as part of geothermal energy production.
Severe energy and environmental problems have been caused by the surplus intake of fossil fuels. As a perfect alternative to fossil fuels, renewable biomass could be converted to chemicals and fuels.
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy—a method that calculates the frequencies produced by the nuclei of certain atoms exposed to radio waves in a powerful magnetic field—can be used to establish chemical and 3D structures as well as the dynamics of materials and molecules.
Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is a well-established technique for fabricating various designs and forms of complex shape or intricate detail. The method is also relatively common for printing mammalian cells in the context of tissue engineering and has more recently been applied to print microbial cells for biotechnological and biomedical applications.
