Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...

(Nanowerk News) As electronic devices get smaller, the materials needed to create them get smaller as well. Nanoscience is the study of extremely small materials that find uses in energy storage, ...

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 challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.

We present a method that utilizes ionic liquid-enhanced nanomaterial assembly to fabricate highly stable and large-area MXene-silver nanowire electrodes with ordered layered structures. This approach ...
