Researchers from Skoltech have uncovered physical principles governing the remote "tuning" of nanocatalysts, where the ...

Sigrid Adriaenssens and Branko Glišić, assistant professors of civil and environmental engineering at Princeton University, co-taught a course on German thin-shell structures in the fall of 2012 that ...

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

A team of researchers reports developing a nanocrystal structure capable of controlling catalysis with the pores of a skin-like membrane that can accept or reject molecules based on their size or ...

Scientists have for the first time viewed how bacterial proteins self-assemble into thin sheets and begin to form the walls of the outer shell for nano-sized polyhedral compartments that function as ...
