Researchers have developed a simple way to make intricate shape-shifting building blocks. The team used a computer to model nearly a million designs to find the perfect blueprint that could make ...

Taking child's play with building blocks to a whole new level-the nanometer scale-scientists have constructed 3D "superlattice" multicomponent nanoparticle arrays where the arrangement of particles is ...

A revolution in novel nanoparticles and colloidal building blocks has been enabled by recent breakthroughs in particle synthesis. These new particles are poised to become the ‘atoms’ and ‘molecules’ ...

Scientists devised a new way of assembling ordered crystals made of nanoparticles. In this process, nanoparticles in the shape of cubes, octahedrons, and spheres coordinate with each other to build ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Even as the South Park Blocks continue making history in Portland, with it being a frequent focal point during last week’s Portland State University protests, people are ...

DNA’s organizing powers go big: strands of the genetic material can guide gel cubes large enough to be seen with the naked eye to assemble into groups 1. A piece of single-stranded DNA will pair up ...
