Catching Waves: Measuring Self-Assembly in Action


Catching Waves: Measuring Self-Assembly in Action from PhysOrg.com

By making careful observations of the growth of a layer of molecules as they gradually cover the surface of a small silicon rectangle, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and North Carolina State University have gained basic insights into how self-propagating self-assembly wave fronts develop and have produced the first experimental verification of recently improved theoretical models of such systems.
