Viruses Could Help Electronics Beat The Heat
When organized into a well-ordered film, viruses can act as a heat-dissipating material, researchers say.
Spin To Re-Create Nature’s Shapes
Using the centripetal force of a rotating fluid, researchers in South Korea have been able to make particles assemble into shapes found in nature.
Gold Nanoparticles Self-Assemble Into Large Arrays
Scientists in China have have devised a method to induce self-assembly of gold nanoparticles into centimeter-scale arrays for use in biosensors and catalysis.
Nanoparticles Self-Assemble Into ‘Black Gold’
When nano-sized gold spheres self-assemble into more complex 3D structures, they turn from their characteristic brick red to black.
Amyloid Fibrils Help To Stabilize Enzymes In Gels
Researchers have exploited the self-assembly properties of amyloid fibrils to make enzymatically-active microgels.
Self-Organization Without Static Interactions
Scientists have shown that self-organizing systems can be achieved through flow alone, challenging previous assumptions.
