AZoNano speaks with Professor Hyoungsoo Kim from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology about his efforts to create a novel nanoscale self-assembling salt-crystal origami method called ...

Researchers have developed a technique whereby they can spontaneously encapsulate microscopic droplets of water and oil emulsion in a tiny sphere made of salt crystals—sort of like a minute, ...

Using DNA origami, researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers -- a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. Using DNA origami, LMU ...

This is a more detailed follow up to the original nextbigfuture article announcing the development of a method to grow DNA origami. This article discusses more ...

In contrast to lithographic techniques, the LMU team uses a method called DNA origami to design and synthesize building blocks, which then self-assemble into a specific lattice structure. “It’s long ...

Light Origami was part of this year’s bustling Vivid Sydney, an 18-day light and music festival within the beautiful Australian city. Masakazu Shirane’s aim was to create an interactive space that ...

Mechanical engineers have devised a technique of 'crystal capillary origami' where salt crystals spontaneously encapsulate liquid droplets. The process offers a new method of nanostructure ...

Using DNA origami, LMU researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers – a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. The shimmering of ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a technique whereby they can spontaneously encapsulate microscopic droplets of water and oil emulsion in a tiny sphere made of salt crystals—sort of like a ...

(Nanowerk News) The shimmering of butterfly wings in bright colors does not emerge from pigments. Rather, it is photonic crystals that are responsible for the play of colors. Their periodic ...
