Researchers may have opened the door to a simpler approach for the fabrication of plasmonic materials -- one of the hottest new fields in high tech -- by inducing polyhedral-shaped silver nanocrystals ...
(Nanowerk News) The question of how many polyhedral nanocrystals of silver can be packed into millimeter-sized supercrystals may not be burning on many lips but the answer holds importance for one of ...
Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...
Recently, we proposed a new possibility for the preparation of micrometer-sized monodisperse polymer particles having disk-like, polyhedral and golf ball-like shapes by SDP in the presence of ...
Evanston, IL In a paper to be published in Science Jan. 18, scientists Chad Mirkin and Sharon Glotzer and their teams at Northwestern University and University of Michigan, respectively, present ...
Like cheerleaders forming a human pyramid, many particles might be able to assemble themselves into organized superstructures, a new study has found. Rather than actually manufacturing countless tiny ...
Berkeley labs has a simpler approach for the fabrication of plasmonic materials by inducing polyhedral-shaped silver nanocrystals to self-assemble into three-dimensional supercrystals of the highest ...
