In this contribution, we report on our studies on peptide-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). In particular, we show that helical oligopeptides formed by C α-tetrasubstituted amino acids and ...
What’s better than platinum? In hydrogen fuel cells, the answer is cofacial cobalt porphyrins. It’s a mouthful to say, and if you’re not a chemist, you’ve probably never heard of these compounds ...
What is Block Copolymer Lithography? Block copolymer lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes the self-assembly properties of block copolymers to create ordered nanostructures. Block ...
Nonvolatile memory that can store data even when not powered is currently used for portable electronics such as smart phones, tablets, and laptop computers. Flash memory is a dominant technology in ...
LEGO (LEGO) is a block toy loved by people all over the world from children to adults. It is also a great appeal to be able to assemble the packages that are generally distributed as assembled ...
(Nanowerk News) Using a new type of dual polymer material capable of responding dynamically to its environment, Brown University researchers have developed a set of modular hydrogel components that ...
Self-assembly exists across domains, from colloidal particles in material science to fire ants assembling themselves into rafts during floods. The rules that govern self-assembly between these ...
A new type of hydrogel material could soon make assembling complex microfluidic or soft robotic devices as simple as putting together a LEGO set. Using a new type of dual polymer material capable of ...
