A new technique enables data storage in synthetic polymers, allowing direct bit access without full sequence decoding, ...

Since bioengineering professor Abraham Joy's lab had already designed a synthetic polymer that adheres well to wet surfaces, ...

Increasing amounts of data require storage, often for long periods. Synthetic polymers are an alternative to conventional storage media because they maintain stored information while using less space ...

Polymers are the building blocks of living systems and the early research on cellulose chemistry sparked a substantial growth in research towards synthetic polymers. This, in turn, resulted in the ...

The synthetic polymer industry represents the major end use of many petrochemical monomers such as ethylene, styrene, and vinyl chloride. Synthetic polymers have greatly affected our lifestyle. Many ...

A new paper now adds another templating function to the list: the programmed construction of synthetic polymers. Materials scientists have always been intrigued and inspired by the unsurpassed ...

Modern chewing gum is primarily made with synthetic polymers like polyethylene and polyvinyl acetate, which are plastics.

Increasing amounts of data require storage, often for long periods. Synthetic polymers are an alternative to conventional storage media because they maintain stored information while using less space ...

Tomonori Saito is a distinguished research and development staff member at ORNL and a joint faculty associate professor ...

A semiconductor made of synthetic polymer such as an LED or transistor. Such "conjugated polymers" are a plastic material that changes from being an insulator to a semiconductor after being doped.

Synthetic genes, though few, can generate complex biomolecular materials when their expression is part of a temporal control ...
