The DNA strands used in applications such as the polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing, and DNA data storage are typically made using nucleoside phosphoramidite building blocks. These ...

Polymers with different metal complexes in their side chains are thought to be promising high-performance materials with a wide variety of applications. However, conventional fabrication methods are ...

In my August 2021 column, I introduced the composites building block approach as a step-by-step series of mechanical tests of increasing complexity, coupled with analyses performed at each step, that ...
