A modular system for the simple and inexpensive production of security inks
Novel fluorescent dyes developed by ETH researchers are relatively simple and inexpensive to produce. The dyes are polymers with a modular structure. They consist of a different number of subunits depending on their color. ...

Spatiotemporal segregation of chiral supramolecular polymers
In 1848, Louis Pasteur successfully segregated two types of crystals of double sodium-ammonium salt of tartaric acid, which were mirror images of each other. Back then, this was done manually through a painstaking process ...

Team designs system to create bioplastics
A team of Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists has developed a system that uses carbon dioxide, CO2, to produce biodegradable plastics, or bioplastics, that could replace the nondegradable plastics used today. The research ...
