The ability to self-organize is a key feature of biological systems and is widely found in nature: small building blocks that ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function ...

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 ...

To make continuous pharmaceutical biomanufacturing a standard practice, the industry needs new, more-capable bacterial strains. Researchers at Rice University are helping address that challenge with ...

What if a surface could instantly switch from sticky to slippery at the push of a button? By using electricity to control how ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have engineered nanosized cubes that spontaneously form a two-dimensional checkerboard pattern when dropped on the surface of water. The work, published in Nature ...

Physicists at LMU Munich show that the shape of components is a major determinant of how quickly and efficiently complex structures self-assemble. Complex systems in nature, like their synthetic ...

The ability to self-organize is a key feature of biological systems and is widely found in nature: Small building blocks that autonomously assemble give rise to macromolecules such as the cell nucleus ...

Discover how light-controlled assembly enables precise 1D, 2D, and 3D molecular structures. Explore the future of molecular ...

Ten years ago, when the industry was struggling to deliver EUV lithography, directed self-assembly (DSA) roared to the forefront of research and development for virtually every manufacturer determined ...
