DNA synthesis is vital to several processes in biopharmaceutical innovation, including the development of gene therapies, CRISPR gene editing, antisense oligonucleotides and RNA therapies. The need ...

Combustion synthesis represents a versatile and energy-efficient approach for the production of advanced materials, ranging from inorganic ceramics to sophisticated nanocomposites. This method ...

Polyurethane is highly elastic, wear resistant and durable, and is used, for example, in cushions, fibers, thermal insulation materials, dyes, adhesives and automobile parts. Polyurethane is an ...

MXenes (pronounced like the name "Maxine") are a class of two-dimensional materials, first identified just 14 years ago, with ...

A new paper published in Nature Biotechnology this week titled, “Template-independent enzymatic synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides,” provides details of a method for synthesizing single-stranded RNA ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of York synthesised over 700 complex metal ...

A new study reveals how different synthesis methods can profoundly impact the structure and function of high entropy oxides, a class of materials with applications in everyday electronic devices. A ...

Quantum dots are composed of semiconducting materials like cadmium selenide (CdSe) or indium arsenide (InAs) and can be synthesized through various methods. For instance, colloidal synthesis and ...

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals. They exist on a nanometer scale (ca. 2–12 nm) and are coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to avoid agglomeration. Due to their size, CQDs ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed an electrochemical reaction manifold that promotes ...

Researchers tested a strategy for developing single-atom catalysts that may help us develop more efficient methods for water purification. All humans need clean water to live. However, purifying water ...
