In an advance that could prevent that kind of device failure, MIT engineers have found a simple and general way to eliminate fibrosis by coating devices with a hydrogel adhesive. This adhesive ...

St. Cyril’s College develops hydrogel coating extending fruit and vegetable shelf life, addressing limitations of traditional preservation methods.

PATHANAMTHITTA: While most of us use refrigerators to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, preserving them without losing their natural goodness remains a challenge. In a significant ...

Speaking at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Diego, researchers described a high performance coating that could be incorporated into the polyurethane shell of a golf ball. The ...
