Self-healing coatings are advanced materials that can repair damage, such as scratches and cracks on their own. Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films ...

Scientists have taken a step closer to replicating nature's processes of self-assembly. The study describes the synthetic construction of a tiny, self-assembled crystal known as a 'pyrochlore,' which ...

When constructing a house, a bricklayer has to take each brick and cement it in place. But in many biological processes, the ‘bricks’ arrange themselves into structures spontaneously. Due to their ...

Ten years ago, when the industry was struggling to deliver EUV lithography, directed self-assembly (DSA) roared to the forefront of research and development for virtually every manufacturer determined ...

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. The catch is that you won’t get a lower price for doing it yourself. The catch is that you won’t get a lower ...

In early 2023, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory used autonomous methods can discover new materials. The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technique ...

A rapid condensation process creates uniform porous oxides with conductive nanomaterials, boosting lithium storage performance while enabling full solvent recovery and sustainable material production.

CS/Ti3C2Tx/Co@CNTs composite could obtain the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -55.01 dB at the thickness of 3.4 mm and the ...

Assembly Theory is a way to understand how the complexity of life emerged through a mechanism of “self-assembly.” It could explain how life formed on Earth—or other planets—via the shortest path to ...
