Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What kinds of ...

The idea was to essentially miniaturize the magnetic building set by fabricating micron-scale structures and machines at the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF) and investigate ...

Physicists show that the shape of components is a major determinant of how quickly and efficiently complex structures self-assemble. Physicists at LMU Munich show that the shape of components is a ...

As technology continues to advance, scientists and engineers are constantly searching for more efficient and effective ways to create new materials and devices. One increasingly popular method is self ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...
