					<description><![CDATA[Researchers develop a method to reuse previously nonrecyclable plastic WASHINGTON, June 29, 2021 &#8212; Biodegradable plastics are supposed to be good for the environment. But because they are specifically made to degrade quickly, they cannot be recycled. In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand have developed [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#8211; Amphiphilic molecules, which aggregate and encapsulate molecules in water, find use in several fields of chemistry. The simple, additive-free connection of hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules would be an efficient method for amphiphilic molecule synthesis. However, such connections, or bonds, are often fragile in water. Now, scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed an [&#8230;]]]></description>

Developed at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the newly-developed material is as strong as dental composites yet non-toxic. The material and a surgical method, which were published in Advanced Functional Materials, will be used in clinical [&#8230;]]]></description>
