Notably, this assembly process occurs spontaneously without chemically modifying the viruses, setting it apart from previous techniques that require laborious genetic alterations or additional ...

Lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in a solvent, resulting in well‐defined mesophases whose nanostructured order is amenable to precise ...

Normally, synthetic organic polymers are insoluble amorphous or polycrystalline products instead of single crystals. As far as polymer science and crystal engineering are concerned, the direct ...

The process by which polymers crystallize is important to many industries: such materials, which contain molecules made of long carbon-based chains, are found in clothing, car bumpers and other common ...

A team of researchers has developed a new type of material that could make the process of separating gases cleaner and more ...

Three scientists have been awarded the 2025 Nobel prize in chemistry for discovering a new form of molecular architecture: ...

When you picture a sci-fi energy source, glowing green crystals are right up there. Scientists in China have now demonstrated just that, in the form of a “micronuclear battery” that can provide ...
