Newly developed DNA nanostructures can form flexible, fluid, and stimuli-responsive condensates without relying on chemical cross-linking, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo and ...

A research team led by Profs. FU Qiang and MU Rentao from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered the water-induced dynamic structural evolution of ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the ...

Fullerenes are a fascinating class of carbon-based nanomaterials defined by their closed-cage molecular geometries. Their unique structure imparts exceptional electronic, optical, and mechanical ...

To assemble these minuscule structures, researchers first create a scaffold: a long piece of single-stranded DNA with a carefully designed sequence of bases. Then they add hundreds of shorter DNA ...

Definition: Bottom-up nanotechnology is an innovative approach to constructing nanostructures that differ significantly from traditional top-down manufacturing methods. Instead of carving out or ...

For the first time, researchers have mapped how the boundaries of magnetic nanostructures behave on extremely short timescales. The work of physicist Johan Mentink of Radboud University shows that ...
