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."
James Mitchell Crow (2024) Editing polymer backbones, Chemistry World, February 2024. pp.48-51
