A short, quick and dirty update today — actually more a pointer for anyone who cares about carbon-based matter… Published monthly, the “Peak Oil Report — March 2007” by the bloggers at The Oil Drum is a very good resource and overview over anything peak oil. It has summaries of the current published oil production data […]
Are DNA-polymer-conjugates finally taking off?
Published by February 26th, 2007 in biopolymers, future technology, hipness, literature and nanotechnology. 4 CommentsDNA-Polymer conjugates seem to be taking off these days. Having seen Corinne Vebert’s presentation on her DNA-poly(butadiene)-block-copolymers at this year’s polymer meeting in Freiburg, I just checked up on some chemistry blogs I read and find a post on “On the road” about a similar system by A. Herrmann, who was also present at the […]
