Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.
Scientists have taken a step closer to replicating nature's processes of self-assembly. The study describes the synthetic construction of a tiny, self-assembled crystal known as a 'pyrochlore,' which ...
In early 2023, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory used autonomous methods can discover new materials. The artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technique ...
