Illustration of gold nanoparticles self-assembling in different patterns, some forming clusters while others arrange themselves into flat layers. The sizes of the layers are also shown, demonstrating ...

Template-based methods utilize pre-formed nanostructures, such as mesoporous silica or polymer nanoparticles, as templates for the confinement and self-assembly of liquid crystal molecules. The liquid ...

The new nanoparticles, called LCB1-NPs and LCB3-NPs, are formed by repeats of three proteins, which are joined together ...
