The discovery of oxygen "superstructures" in cuprate materials by two independent teams of physicists could help shed new light on the origins of high-temperature superconductivity, which has been one ...

Astronomers have revealed the largest known structure in the universe, which is made up of not only clusters of galaxies but also clusters of these clusters that form a gravitationally interacting ...

A new way of using self-assembling block copolymers (BCPs) to create patterned nanostructures has been unveiled by researchers in Canada. They found that arrays of BCPs with different lattice spacings ...

In research that may help bridge the divide between the nano and the macro, chemists have used pyramid-shaped nanoparticles to create what might be the most complex macroscale superstructure ever ...

A massive “superstructure” of igneous rock lurking below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, east of the Solomon Islands, has long puzzled scientists. The structure, dubbed the Melanesian Border Plateau ...

Is it possible to understand the universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely. In practical terms? Definitely not. Extremely large objects can ...

Polymer scientists recently announced that they have solved a longstanding mystery surrounding a nanoscale structure, formed by collections of molecules, called a double-gyroid. This shape is one of ...

Superstructures will leave 32 Avenue of the Americas after its lease expires in August of 2020. The firm looked all over Manhattan for new office space once it realized it was being priced out of the ...

"There's been a lot of research in making superstructures from spherical nanoparticles, but much less using tetrahedral building blocks," said Ou Chen, an assistant professor of chemistry at Brown and ...
