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 ...

Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in materials science with applications in protein design. The results, which could ...

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 ...

Physicists show that the shape of components is a major determinant of how quickly and efficiently complex structures self-assemble. Physicists at LMU Munich show that the shape of components is a ...

Taking a page from the natural process by which patterns are formed in nature on seashells and snowflakes, IBM announced on May 3 its ability to form trillions of holes to create insulating vacuums ...

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 from Tohoku University and Kyoto University have successfully developed a DNA-based molecular controller that autonomously directs the assembly and disassembly of molecular robots. This ...

Nature provides a constant source of inspiration to engineer molecules possessing desired structural configurations and intermolecular interactions, and identify the conditions conducive to driving ...

Increasing the intensity of the interaction between light and matter to create, for example, better photodetectors or quantum light sources is a key objective in quantum optics and photonics.

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics at Brandeis University has long held an international reputation for excellence in research, offering its graduate students opportunities to work with top ...
