Machines can distinguish 12 different types of plastic thereby separate plastics according to their chemical composition

07-Jan-2022

In contrast to common perceptions, plastic is in no way near one material. Rather, it is a combination of many materials (polymers) with different chemical compounds and additives such as pigments or fibres, depending on its use. It is very difficult to tell the difference between different types ...

Chemically synthesized short DNA sequences are extremely important ingredients with countless uses

18-May-2021

The DNA sequences produced are also called oligonucleotides. These are widely used for disease identification, for the manufacture of oligonucleotide-based drugs, and for several other medical and biotechnological applications. The high demand for oligonucleotides therefore requires an efficient ...
