Morphogenesis refers to this innate biological process that guides developmental growth and structural configuration into precise target shapes. Yet while biological organisms inherently self-assemble ...

Colloidal self-assembly is a process where colloidal particles spontaneously organize into ordered structures under specific conditions. Colloidal self-assembly serves as a foundation for designing ...

Rochester Institute of Technology Associate Professor Moumita Das is part of a team of researchers that was recently awarded a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation to design and ...

A new materials technique has taken cues from Grandma's yarn bag and cutting-edge technology, and it could see us 'solid knitting' whole furniture sets, as well as the fabrics that cover them. What's ...

Researchers at the University of Washington created a recyclable composite material made of tiny droplets of liquid metal infused into a stretchy polymer. The droplets, pictured in this microscope ...

The need for, and benefits of, reconfigurable antennas. How metamaterials combined with novel assembly techniques were combined to create a physically reconfigurable antenna. The performance ...

A single organic device reconfigures as transistor, rectifier and logic gate, offering compact circuits with higher functional density for flexible and lightweight electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...
