Molecular assembly is a fundamental concept in nanotechnology that involves the controlled arrangement of molecules or molecular components into ordered structures with desired properties and ...

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 ...

Schematic diagram of the self-assembly of cyclodextrin-azobenzene complexes in the dark (top of figure) and under the action of light (full figure). The circles next to the structures of the complexes ...

Researchers have succeeded in developing a DNA-based molecular controller. Crucially, this controller enables the autonomous assembly and disassembly of molecular robots, as opposed to manually ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional ...
