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.

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

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 ...

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 ...
