A potential revolution in device engineering could be underway, thanks to the discovery of functional electronic interfaces in quantum materials that can self-assemble spontaneously

Using polymer blends, scientists rapidly generated highly ordered patterns that could be used in the fabrication of microelectronics, antireflective surfaces, magnetic data storage systems, and fluid-flow devices

What could you use as building blocks if you wanted to create something really small—a structure less than the width of a human hair?

In a recent study, researchers developed a new way to create some of the world’s thinnest wires, using a process that could enable mass manufacturing with standard types of equipment

Interdisciplinary project to support development of more efficient solar cells, other future materials

Self-assembling nanoparticles take their cues from their surroundings

Scientists alter attractive and repulsive forces between DNA-linked particles to make dynamic, phase-shifting forms of nanomaterials.
