It may not be as catchy a name as Iron Man, but in a fight you might be better off betting on Glass DNA Nanolattice Man instead. Engineers at the University of Connecticut have developed a very strong ...

“For the given density, our material is the strongest known,” Seok-Woo Lee, a materials scientist at the University of Connecticut and coauthor of a resulting study published in the journal Cell ...

A material made from hollow nanoparticles and DNA is exceptionally strong, especially considering how small its building blocks are. It could eventually be used to build extremely sturdy medical and ...

Scientists have developed a universal method for producing a wide variety of designed metallic and semiconductor 3D nanostructures -- the potential base materials for next-generation semiconductor ...

For scientists to access and control inorganic materials' unique properties, they need to be able to control these materials' ...

A recent article in Nano Macro Small presents a new method for producing biohybrid materials by using bacteria to synthesize deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hydrogels outside the cell. The goal of the ...

A new paper describes a significant leap forward in assembling polyhedral nanoparticles. The researchers introduce and demonstrate the power of a novel synthetic strategy that expands possibilities in ...
