Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new way to guide the self-assembly of a wide range of novel nanoscale structures using simple polymers as starting materials. Under the electron microscope, these nanometer-scale structures look like tiny Lego building blocks, including parapets for miniature medieval castles and Roman aqueducts.
An international research team from Italy, Germany, the UK, and China recently examined important development directions in the area of electronic materials with curved geometries at the nanoscale in a study that was recently published in Nature Electronics.
PNRs are ribbon-like strands of the 2D material phosphorous which, like graphene, are composed of layers of atoms that are only single-atom thick.
A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications focuses on this issue by presenting an extremely configurable soft nanobrush-directed technique for accurate in situ production of MOF nanoarrays on various surfaces.
