New measurements may have lifted the veil on the vexingly elusive interactions through which lithium can moderate the manic highs and debilitating lows experienced by people who suffer from bipolar disorder—about 2.6 percent of Americans, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Band gaps in spider silk have been found by Rice University Scientists in Singapore and Europe.
The biodegradable polymer polylactic acid, also known as PLA, is widely used in manufacturing of various products, ranging from disposable cups, to drug delivery systems, to medical implants.
To create an eco-friendly substitute for petroleum-based plastic and minimize pollution during the degradation process, students from the University of Sonora (UNISON) Campus Caborca, developed a bioplastic based on starch tabasco banana and propolis, of easy development and with different ecological applications such as creating bags with antibacterial properties and compost.
Trinitrotoluene or TNT has been considered as the standard measure for explosives for 100 years, although new high-energy-density materials or HEDMs outperform this substance in terms of explosion power, safety, but also environmental compatibility.
A team of materials scientists have developed a new material that behaves like a cell membrane found in nature. Researchers have been seeking similar materials for applications such as drug delivery and water purification.
A team of researchers at Princeton University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Merck & Co. has developed a cost-effective and complementary approach to a fundamental chemical reaction known as a C-N bond coupling, which is a staple of modern drug development.
The use of polyethylene mulch is a common practice in vegetable production, but environmental issues related to the disposal of petroleum-based plastic mulches have producers looking for alternatives.
Today’s chemical industry is based on oil, because many chemical products originate from oil and its components. Products ranging from solvents to medication, plastics to detergents and crop protection products are all based on oil. Due to the limitations in the number of oil reserves, scientists are now searching for new techniques to produce these products from sustainable materials.
Proteins are complex molecules that are responsible for carrying out all of the processes that sustain life. A better understanding of how these molecules perform their functions can be achieved by learning the assembly of their atoms and how the structure of this assembly changes as the atoms react. Until now, no imaging technique has allowed the observation of molecular movement in such speed and detail.
