Chemists have discovered that pointy gold tetrahedrons self-assemble into 2D chiral superlattices. The structures could be useful metamaterials. Tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles are interesting enough ...

Research in the field of material science and electronics relies on the innovative arrangement of molecules or atoms to develop materials with unique properties not found in conventional materials.

Following the isolation of Graphene in Manchester in 2004, researchers have discovered a whole new library of 2D materials. Since 2010, researchers have been combining these 2D materials to develop ...

HOUSTON – (July 25, 2022) – Tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles are interesting enough by themselves, but under the right circumstances, Rice University scientists have discovered they do something ...

While doing a routine check on a batch of tiny gold tetrahedrons, Rice chemist Matthew Jones and graduate student Zhihua Cheng found their microscopic particles had the unanticipated ability to ...
