- 2008-12-31 - Imagine tiny cracks in your patio table healing by themselves, or the first small scratch on your new car disappearing by itself. This and more may be possible with self-healing coatings being developed at the University of Illinois. The new coatings are designed to better protect materials from...Posted:
- 2008-12-31 - It takes years of training, experience and chemical ingenuity to be able to make a small complex molecule. A typical natural product might contain a handful of aromatic rings, a stretch of multiple double bonds, and the odd heterocycle, all sprinkled with several chiral centres. Stitching these...Posted:
