Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...

Versatile molecular frameworks called discrete supramolecular structures act like microscopic building blocks customizable for a wide variety of applications. The structures can serve in drug delivery ...

Nanoparticles are set to lose their air of mystery: the structure of a widely used class of gold nanoparticle has been unambiguously determined, and the structures of other nanoparticles could soon ...

A new research effort is accelerating imaging techniques to visualize structures of small molecules clearly -- a process once thought impossible. Their discovery unleashes endless potential in ...

A new study demonstrates that researchers can control the distance between two molecules such that they can adjust the step size to as small as Bohr’s radius. This proof-of-concept study using DNA ...

URBANA, Ill. — A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research effort led by Pinshane Huang is accelerating imaging techniques to visualize structures of small molecules clearly — a process once ...
