An example of an extended metaphor in science journalism:
"The potential implications of this chemistry could be far-reaching. Mastering selective polymer backbone editing could change almost every aspect of the polymer lifecycle – from the way polymers are made to the functionalities they exhibit and to the ways they could be repurposed, upcycled and ultimately depolymerised at end of life."
