Water droplets can slide down or bounce off a leaf's surface because it has a waxy hydrophobic (water-repellent) coating.

Scientists have created a new family of polymers capable of killing bacteria without inducing antibiotic resistance -- a major step in the fight against superbugs like E. coli and MRSA.

Researchers probe charged polymer droplets to reveal how their nanoscale behavior could shape future drug delivery and ...

Finding the next groundbreaking polymer is always a challenge, but now researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to shape and transform the future of the field. Nylon, Teflon, Kevlar. These ...
