Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The ...

Scientists have taken a step closer to replicating nature's processes of self-assembly. The study describes the synthetic construction of a tiny, self-assembled crystal known as a 'pyrochlore,' which ...

Physicists show that the shape of components is a major determinant of how quickly and efficiently complex structures self-assemble. Physicists at LMU Munich show that the shape of components is a ...

As technology continues to advance, scientists and engineers are constantly searching for more efficient and effective ways to create new materials and devices. One increasingly popular method is self ...
