For the first time ever, researchers have found that defects present in liquid crystals can be used as templates to assemble molecules into precisely defined 3-D nanoscale structures. “It’s a demonstration of principle,” says Nicholas Abbott, the John T. and Magdalen L. Sobota Professor and Hilldale Professor of chemical and biological engineering at the University […]
