Their method of "fossilized liquid assembly" is to dissolve nanoparticles in a solution of water containing a special monomer that freezes the particles into a hierarchical structure on exposure to ultraviolet light. This can be done in as little as five minutes, according to lead researcher and physicist Alamgir Karim.
The group envisions their technique enabling others to learn more about self-assembly and offering industry another step toward manufacturing at the molecular scale. (photo NIST)
