The Stache Lab at Cornell, led by Prof. Erin Stache, chemistry and chemical biology, has discovered an efficient way to decompose non-biodegradable plastic polystyrene — a material commonly used in ...

Researchers claim surface chemical modification supports long-term culture of undifferentiated cells. Researchers have found that treating polystyrene lab plates with ultraviolet (UV) waves generates ...

FINDINGS: By irradiating typical polystyrene lab plates with ultraviolet (UV) waves, Whitehead Institute and MIT scientists have created a surface capable of tripling the number of human embryonic ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory, along with partners from Clemson University, have discovered a low-energy process that breaks down polystyrene, a plastic widely used in ...
