Biological units such as proteins and peptides have the intrinsic ability to self-assemble into natural biological nanostructures such as DNA strands, proteins and amyloid fibers. These assemblies ...

Extremely thin films of material are used to make everything from potato chip bags to solar cells, and vapor deposition processes are the common techniques used to make thin layers. Vapor deposition ...

There are many ways to deposit a nanosized film, in what is termed ‘bottom-up’ deposition methods. Nanosized films can also be produced by top-down approaches—such as lithography or etching—where ...
