The question of how many polyhedral nanocrystals of silver can be packed into millimeter-sized supercrystals may not be burning on many lips but the answer holds importance for one of today's hottest ...

In my case, I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and along with my colleagues, I worked to create the fledgling field of modern boron chemistry. As a result, I managed to make a ...

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) are a class of nanoscale inorganic–organic hybrids defined by an approximately octahedral silica cage core (SiO1.5)n with organic substituents at each ...

Technically, the shape is a rhombic dodecahedron with a hexagon for a base; the geometry was specially designed by Orgusaar to create a space that was easily assembled out of identical elements. The ...
