Artificial self-assembling light-harvesting systems are of interest in dye-sensitized solar cells where a large photon capture cross section can assure that efficient energy transfer occurs to a ...

Crucially, this controller enables the autonomous assembly and disassembly of molecular robots, as opposed to manually directing it. Researchers from Tohoku University and Kyoto University have ...

By depicting assembly reactions by solid arrows and disassembly reactions by dashed arrows (each directed from an output port to a complementary input port of a different node), reaction pathways ...

Think thousands or hundreds of thousands of nanobots assembling and disassembling on command to form the most efficient shape for boosting up into orbit, creating a replacement piece of ...

or assembling and disassembling in-body medical equipment. Who knows? One day you could carry your computer around in a water bottle. Just not onto an airplane. Via Physics World. buckminster ...
