Scientists have created a new family of polymers capable of killing bacteria without inducing antibiotic resistance -- a major step in the fight against superbugs like E. coli and MRSA.

Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice stretchability for stiffness. Researchers at the University of Virginia ...

Over the past decade, polymer science has shifted from precision synthesis to circular economy design. Breakthroughs in recycling, depolymerization and data-driven methods will be instrumental in ...
