Cell walls don't just provide support and protection for plants—they're also packed with energy-rich biomaterials that could open new pathways for additional fuel, chemical, and material sources in the U.S. That's why biologists ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a novel framework for understanding and controlling the flow behavior of granular hydrogels—a class of material made up of densely packed, microscopic ...
What if generative AI could design life-saving antibiotics, not just art and text? In a new Cell Biomaterials paper, Penn researchers introduce AMP-Diffusion, a generative AI tool used to create tens of thousands of new antimicrobial ...
Researchers in McGill's Department of Mechanical Engineering have discovered a safe and low-cost method of engineering living materials such as tissues, organs and blood clots. By simply vibrating these materials as they ...
Many harmful bacteria can move to evade high concentrations of antibiotics. This allows them to spread through the body and makes them harder to treat, contributing to the growing problem of drug-resistant infections.
A new study, led by researchers at the University of Missouri, has uncovered how poplar trees can naturally adjust a key part of their wood chemistry based on changes in their environment. This discovery—the result of a ...
More than half of the 7.5 million bales of cotton produced annually in the U.S. will be used in clothing manufacturing. The finishing techniques used to make cotton fabric smooth, water-repellent and resistant to wrinkling ...
One of the most significant moments in the evolutionary journey of life on this planet was the transition from water to land. This huge step required animals to adapt to new challenges, including supporting their body weight ...
As the global population rises and environmental stressors pile up, the question of how to ensure food security for all grows increasingly pressing. A new study led by Tufts Research Technician, and incoming Ph.D. student, ...
Advances in artificial intelligence for porous materials design could impact a wide variety of fields, from orthopedic implants to next-generation batteries.
