Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new way to guide the self-assembly of a wide range of novel nanoscale structures using simple ...

Scientists have developed a new way to guide the self-assembly of a wide range of novel nanoscale structures using simple layered block copolymers as starting materials. The work could help guide the ...

The National Science Foundation has awarded more than $250,000 in grant money to Northern Illinois University in DeKalb for acquisition of a cutting-edge high-resolution[microscope that will bolster ...

One of the earliest iterations of the microscope was built in the 1600s by the microscopy pioneer Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. His work not only developed the field of microscopy but opened up the study ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This ...

Nanoparticles - i.e. small particles with a size in the range of a few tens to hundreds of billionths of a meter - are a wide-ranging field of research. For example, they make the latest biomedical ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

Proteins are the building blocks of all living things. A vast amount research takes place on how these proteins are made and what they do, from enzymes that carry out chemical reactions to messengers ...

(Nanowerk News) Understanding the nitty gritty of how molecules interact with each other in the real, messy, dynamic environment of a living body is a challenge that must be overcome in order to ...
