Nanoparticle self-assembly and colloidal systems represent a dynamic field where nanoscale building blocks spontaneously organise into larger, functional structures. This process leverages a balance ...

When constructing a house, a bricklayer has to take each brick and cement it in place. But in many biological processes, the ‘bricks’ arrange themselves into structures spontaneously. Due to their ...

(Nanowerk News) Miniaturization is one of the fundamental qualities of modern electronics and is largely responsible for the incredible increments in performance witnessed over the past decades. To ...

Scientists developed a single molecule combining p-type and n-type semiconductor components that self-assembles into two ...

Researchers at Waseda University developed a more efficient method to create self-healing films using organosiloxane and polydimethylsiloxane layers. The process involves depositing a precursor ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

Assembly Theory is a way to understand how the complexity of life emerged through a mechanism of “self-assembly.” It could explain how life formed on Earth—or other planets—via the shortest path to ...
