Science Advances
The use of biodegradable instead of nonbiodegradable polymers in single-use agricultural applications, including plastic mulching, promises to reduce plastic accumulation in the environment. We present a novel approach that allows tracking of carbon from biodegradable polymers into CO2 and microbial biomass.

Researchers have developed the first materials that can permanently change from solid to liquid, or vice versa, when exposed to light at room temperature, and remain in the new phase even after the light is removed. The researchers also demonstrated that the light can be used to draw liquid designs in a solid material or solid designs in a liquid material, creating stable materials that are part solid and part liquid. The new materials have potential applications for 3-D printing, molding, and on-demand recycling, among other uses.

The scientific search for materials that mend on their own has mostly focused on creating new polymers, or plastics, with only modest success. But material scientists at Clemson University have taken a different tack that could soon lead to commercial products, from scratch-free cars and nail polish, to robots with soft and flexible “skin” that heals, to airplane wings that repair microscopic cracks and industrial surfaces that improve and prolong performance.
