Plastic materials designed as stable compounds with low degradability create serious environmental problems. Long-lasting plastic packaging helps protect consumer goods but creates a one-way path from production to trash, with global recycling rates at only 9%. Biopolymers offer a solution by working well while breaking down faster.

Engineering Researchers Create Innovative Microparticles that Unlock New Insights into Protein Degradation and Immune Cell Behavior

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers have created a new method for studying protein degradation within immune cells. This method uses engineered microparticles to track and analyze degradation processes more effectively than traditional methods.

The work, published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, has important implications for treating diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and autoimmune disorders.

Researchers Uncover Critical Mechanisms Behind Solid-State Battery Failures

The next-generation technology promises revolutionary advances in energy storage efficiency and safety.

A research team at the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) has achieved a significant breakthrough in understanding the fundamental causes of failure in solid-state lithium-ion batteries, according to a study
