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 ...

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 ...

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 develop a large dodecahedral structure through the self- assembly of metal ions and peptides, with potential implications in drug delivery systems and molecular transportation. Controlling ...
