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 ...

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 ...

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