A research team has developed a novel aerosol-based emulsion system that enables the self-assembly of asymmetric nanostructures—something long considered a major challenge in materials science. The ...

A team of researchers found that randomly selected, high-angle, general grain boundaries in a nickel-bismuth (Ni-Bi) polycrystalline alloy can undergo interfacial reconstruction to form ordered ...

(Nanowerk News) The assembly of primary particles into uniform superstructures represent a compelling strategy to create new functions by utilizing interparticle electromagnetic coupling or other ...

To mimic natural protein assemblies, Samuel I. Stupp and coworkers at Northwestern University set out to make a hydrogel that could undergo reversible changes in stiffness. They succeeded using ...
