Description:: Developing materials with comparable structural complexity and programmed hierarchy as those found in nature is a grand challenge in materials science. One way to synthesize soft materials with these complex architectures is to use bottom-up self-assembly of nanoscale building blocks, mimicking how organisms grow tissues with specific functions from peptides,...

Description:: To accelerate the implementation of technologies enabled by two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, the human health and environmental implications of these materials need to be addressed. Fundamental studies which elucidate the mechanisms of toxicity and environmental fate will allow for the safer design of these materials and promote their widespread use. This...

Description:: Anisotropic semiconducting thin films have attracted attention in recent years for important applications such as electrical interconnects, electronic sensors, field-emission devices and thermoelectric devices. However, the characterization of the full conductivity tensor, especially the cross-plane conductivity, remains a great challenge for anisotropic thin films. In addition, the synthesis of large-area...
