Tag: polymersDrugs could be slipped into living cells using a light-sensitive capsule. A new polymer simplifies organic circuits. A startup uses strains of E. coli bacteria to convert sugar into valuable chemicals for textiles and other products. Higher-Performance Plastic Electronics A new way of printing organic electronics is more reliable and yields higher performance. Researchers make cells with near-perfect internal efficiency. The first mechanically activated catalyst might be used in self-healing materials. A startup says its solid polymer electrolytes will mean cheaper, more-reliable batteries. Organic x-ray panels could bring down the cost of medical imaging. Implant Makes Cells Kill Cancer A polymer device trains immune cells to shrink tumors. A new fuel cell uses a cheap nickel catalyst. A paint additive will protect cars, bridges, and ships from corrosion. Polymer patches hitched to the surfaces of immune cells can transport a variety of cargo. An experimental drug for diabetes dispenses insulin in response to glucose levels. Artificial antibodies could be used in cheap, field-ready toxin sensors. |
