Anisotropic nanoparticles are nanoparticles that possess different properties along different axes. Unlike their isotropic counterparts, which have uniform properties in all directions, anisotropic ...

The main objective of this project (funded by the DOE) is to explore self-organization of anisotropic nanoparticles into colloidal composites with tunable ordered structures. The research is focusing ...

Our focus has been on anisotropic (e.g. non-spherical, non-uniform surface chemistry) particles because of the technological relevance of such particles, including clay, yeast, red blood cells, and ...

The assembly of nanoparticles by means of DNA linkers is the most versatile approach to build dynamic, functional nanostructures comprising individually addressable building blocks arranged in ...

The development of LivGels at Penn State offers a breakthrough in biomaterials, mimicking ECMs for improved tissue repair and ...
