Nanomaterials are materials with at least one external dimension ... They may also be constructed by bottom up techniques, atom by atom or molecule by molecule. One way of doing this is self-assembly, ...

Controlling the structure of matter through atom-by-atom synthesis is a fundamental tenet of chemistry. Understanding the formation, structure, and performance of nanomaterials indeed relies on this ...

Research in the Nanomaterials Group, directed by Distinguished University and Charles T. and Ruth M. Bach Professor Yury Gogotsi, is focused on the fundamental and applied aspects of the synthesis and ...

Over time the focus of nanotech research has gradually shifted from development of high-quality nanomaterials and investigation of their physical properties to the application side. Biomedical ...

In nanomaterials, grain boundaries play a crucial role in determining ... Electron microscopy reveals how the sliding deformation of grain boundaries is accomplished atom by atom in a poly-grained ...
