For a polymer to be considered truly biodegradable, it has to be fully disassembled and microbially converted to carbon dioxide, water (or methane, in anaerobic conditions), and biomass.

One electron is ripped out of the atom (black sphere on the right) while another electron is shifted into a state with higher energy. (Courtesy: TU Wien) The effect of quantum entanglement on the ...

Thanks to very precise simulations, researchers from the universities of Vienna and China managed to observe in detail how two electrons become quantumly entangled in just a few attoseconds (one ...

A four-step process – what, where, whom, how – can identify supply chain options that allow manufacturers to diversify away from China sourcing. As global supply chains continue to face challenges in ...

Will chain restaurants ever stop working to grow bigger and better than ever before? If the past is any indication, the answer is probably no. Year after year, restaurant chains toil to expand their ...

The symposium will showcase a wide variety of cutting-edge work at the intersection of polymers and polymer nanoparticles with the human body, including sensors, wearable technologies and biomedical ...

Here we investigate the connectivity of chains of up to 10 coupled spins, mediated by the bi- and multipartite entanglement of their eigenstates. Rather conveniently, for regularly spaced spins the ...
