Despite didactic, ethical, and environmental concerns, the use of GenAI is on the rise in academia. For most applications, the jury is still out on whether and how they will benefit education and rese...

Toughness and stiffness in polymer gels are generally coupled to the network structure and composition. Now it has been shown that stress-selective mechanophore junctions—tetrafunctional cyclobutanes ...

Science is under siege. Trump’s latest Executive Order calls for politically appointed science commissars to evaluate research. Join us in adding your name to our open letter condemning Trump’s escala...

Abstract. Central to immune recognition is the glycocalyx, a glycan-rich coat on all cells that plays a crucial role in interactions that enable pathogen d

Transferinkers are cross-linkers capable of undergoing degenerative chain transfer and new strand growth. Incorporating transferinkers into 3D printable photopolymer resins leads to improved tensile ...

We present a class of programmable polymer nanoparticles capable of intravenous pDNA delivery with ∼350 000-fold enhancement of specificity to the lung by qPCR in mice. Molecular level insight of thes...

Rebecca Trager speaks to a US team developing a sign language lexicon for chemistry concepts that combines form with meaning to make the field more accessible for everyone

Customizing the toughness of single-network polymer gels independently of their composition and topology remains an unsolved challenge. Traditionally, polymer network toughening is achieved by using s...
