sustainable materials

This illustration shows a future vision of assemblies of molecules formed by peptides and miniature molecular segments from a plastic material to create ferroelectric structures that switch polarity to store digital information or signal neurons.

Peptide-Plastic Material Paves the Way for Next-Gen Wearables, Medical Devices

A chalk-based coating attaches to various commercially available textiles, including cotton and synthetic fiber, to create cooling fabrics, such as the treated synthetic material (right) that’s brighter than the untreated fabric (left).

Chalk-Based Fabric Coating Could Keep You Cool in Hot Weather

Researchers looked at how long viruses remained infectious on different species of wood and found that some are promising candidates for sustainable, natural antiviral materials.

Some Wood Surfaces Can Naturally Reduce Virus Infectivity

After 16 weeks in seawater, bioplastic straws made of foam (top image) broke down at least twice as fast as the solid versions (bottom image).
