Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

This makes it far easier to perform this type of assembly in real life, because you’d need to generate a much smaller set of ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Università degli Studi di Roma "La ...

A Japanese research team has, for the first time, captured real-time images of how supramolecular gels form using high-speed atomic force microscopy, revealing a previously unseen mechanism of ...

Self-assembly of complex molecules is essential for a wide array of biological structures, including proteins, cell membranes, or even entire viruses. Supramolecular chemistry is a field of study ...

Many fundamental processes of life, and their synthetic counterparts in nanotechnology, are based on the autonomous assembly of individual particles into complex patterns. LMU physicist Professor ...

Metal-ion-based self-assembly supramolecular theranostics exhibit excellent performance in biomedical applications owing to their potential superiorities for simultaneous precise diagnosis, targeted ...

Peptide self-assembly is a versatile tool that allows mimicking viruses by creating their simplified versions through the design of functional, supramolecular materials with modularity, tunability, ...
