News and Notes
interactions within the CFN community
November 30, 2016
In this video, Brookhaven Lab physicists Aaron Stein and Kevin Yager discuss their directed self-assembly technique that enables different molecular patterns—in this case, parallel lines and dots—to coexist within a single nanostructure in specific arrangements. The ability to direct the self-assembly of materials into complex nanostructures could enable advances in microelectronics, sensing, and other applications.
