Alfa Chemistry has made a remarkable stride in the field of synthetic biology with the recent renewal of its oligonucleotide series products. This updated lineup includes a range of advanced ...

Plastic waste is a growing environmental crisis, with thermosets among the most problematic materials. These durable plastics, used in car tires, replacement hip joints, and aerospace coatings, resist ...

Researchers have created a recyclable, bio-based alternative to thermoset plastics using dihydrofuran (DHF). Cornell ...

Our biological sciences students explore the complexities of life and work to address global challenges in biology. Our faculty advance knowledge in a wide range of disciplines within the biological ...

Researchers have developed a recyclable alternative to a durable class of plastics used for items like car tires, replacement hip joints and bowling balls.

Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls—these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets, ...

Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls - these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets, known for extreme ...

Chemical biology is the study of the chemicals and ... the energy landscapes upon insertion of the gasdermin D and A3 monomers into an E. coli lipid extract bilayer using extensive atomistic ...

Researchers there made two-dimensional sheets out of X-shaped monomers, which are the building blocks of polymers. (In chemistry, two-dimensional objects are those consisting of just a single ...

Madison Bardot, a Ph.D candidate in Dichtel’s lab, developed a novel process using X-shaped monomers as building blocks and arranging them into highly ordered crystalline structures. They then ...

To overcome this challenge, Dichtel's team took a whole new approach. They started with X-shaped monomers -- which are the building blocks of polymers -- and arranged them into a specific ...
