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 ...

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

In early 2023, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory used autonomous methods can discover new materials. The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technique ...

A rapid condensation process creates uniform porous oxides with conductive nanomaterials, boosting lithium storage performance while enabling full solvent recovery and sustainable material production.

Molecular assembly is a fundamental concept in nanotechnology that involves the controlled arrangement of molecules or molecular components into ordered structures with desired properties and ...

Figure: A schematics of the design pipeline for self-assembled structures: A snapshot from a simulation of DNA building blocks assembling into a target crystal lattice, shown experimentally realized ...
