Imagine if surgeons could transplant healthy neurons into patients living with neurodegenerative diseases or brain and spinal cord injuries. And imagine if they could "grow" these neurons in the ...

The discovery of oxygen "superstructures" in cuprate materials by two independent teams of physicists could help shed new light on the origins of high-temperature superconductivity, which has been one ...

(Nanowerk News) The assembly of primary particles into uniform superstructures represent a compelling strategy to create new functions by utilizing interparticle electromagnetic coupling or other ...

To mimic natural protein assemblies, Samuel I. Stupp and coworkers at Northwestern University set out to make a hydrogel that could undergo reversible changes in stiffness. They succeeded using ...

A team of researchers found that randomly selected, high-angle, general grain boundaries in a nickel-bismuth (Ni-Bi) polycrystalline alloy can undergo interfacial reconstruction to form ordered ...

In research that may help bridge the divide between the nano and the macro, chemists have used pyramid-shaped nanoparticles to create what might be the most complex macroscale superstructure ever ...
