Scientists have created synthetic nanoclusters that can mimic Nature's hierarchical self-assembly all the way from the nanometer to the centimeter scale, spanning seven orders of magnitude. The resulting synthetic thin films have the potential to serve as a model system for exploring biomimetic hierarchical systems and future advanced functions.
Researchers have discovered a new 'knob' to control the magnetic behavior of one promising quantum material, and the findings could pave the way toward novel, efficient and ultra-fast devices.
Researchers have obtained atomic-level insights into the structure of the phosphoketolase enzyme, which will help researchers optimize this enzyme for chemical feedstock synthesis.
