By using self-assembly to create complex, reconfigurable robot structures, researchers hope to develop machines that can adapt to changing environments, perform complex tasks, and even self-repair in ...

University at Albany researchers at the RNA Institute are pioneering new methods for designing and assembling DNA ...

Self-assembly is the process by which an organized structure spontaneously forms from individual components, as a result of specific, local interactions among the components. When the constitutive ...

Functional materials can be created with rational self-assembly of building blocks over a broad range of length scales, from small molecules and polymers to nanoparticles and nanowires. Northwestern ...

“While we still have a long way to go before this is possible, demonstrating DNA nanostructure assembly at body temperature is a promising step.” In previous work, the UAlbany team successfully used ...

Molecular self-assembly is the spontaneous association of molecules, through non covalent bonds and under equilibrium conditions, into stable, structurally well-defined aggregates. While Pd 2 L 4 ...
