The type of seaweed used and the manufacturing process dictate the characteristics of the "sodium alginate" gel. Some alginates become almost amorphous gels that must be removed from the wound by ...

In DNA, 2-deoxy-D-ribose molecules link together through phosphate groups to form a sugar-phosphate backbone. This backbone ...

Sodium alginate, derived from brown seaweed, serves as a binding agent to create the gel. Researchers tested their creation on 800-year-old wood from the Nanhai One, a shipwreck discovered off ...
