Nature Chemistry - The self-sorting of molecular building blocks should allow 2D surface patterns to be transcribed into 3D functional materials. Here, a non-empirical approach to the templated ...

Mathematicians have identified a new class of shapes that "tile space without using sharp corners." From bathroom floors to siding on buildings, it's common to cover areas without gaps by arranging ...

What if electricity and magnetism, usually considered as separate or even competing forces in materials, could actually work together in harmony?

Posted: Oct 13, 2016: 2D-nanocellulose: piezoelectric driven by a hydrogen bonds pattern (Nanowerk News) Researchers from ICN2 Phononic and Photonic Nanostructures Group publish in Scientific Reports ...

A joint research team has successfully developed a two-dimensional (2D) quantum material platform through the superposition of moiré lattices. The research is published in Nature under the title ...

EPFL researchers have developed a new high-precision technology that enables them to carve nanometric patterns into two-dimensional materials. The new technology allows the researchers to… ...

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a method for having 2D patterns made of plastic self-assemble into 3D objects using a heat lamp and printer ink.

Philip Ball's Patterns in Nature is a jaw-dropping exploration of why the world looks the way it does, with 250 color photographs of the most dramatic examples of the “sheer splendor” of ...
