Abstract: Many animal species organise into disordered swarms, polarised flocks or swirls to protect from predators or optimise foraging. Previous studies suggest that such collective states are related to a critical point, which could explain their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d1ra05555k
Abstract: Smart polymeric vesicles with both tertiary amine and epoxy functional groups were fabricated for the first time via a reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer dispersion polymerization approach, using (2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DIPEMA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GlyMA) in… read more here.
