When a plastic fails unexpectedly, the cause could lie anywhere — processing, design, material choice or even additives. But sometimes, the problem goes deeper — back to how the polymer itself was ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Understanding the microscopic catalytic mechanism of the olefin polymerization reaction is crucial for the rational design of next-generation catalysts. However, the dynamic nature of the active ...

Wind turbine blades are being buried at their end of life (EOL), a practice soon to be prohibited by landfill bans taking effect across Europe in 2025. With a forecast of 43 million tons to be ...

Achieving living/controlled supramolecular polymerization (LCSP) of proteins in vitro remains a longstanding challenge in biomaterials science. Here, we find that several native proteins, upon ...
