Nanoscience can arrange minute molecular entities into nanometric patterns in an orderly manner using self-assembly protocols. Scientists have functionalized a simple rod-like building block with ...

Over the past 40 years, electroactive polymers have found their way into electronics such as transistors, batteries, light-emitting diodes, and solar cells. Built from conjugated building blocks, ...

In my two previous columns, I discussed the lower and intermediate levels of the building block approach for crashworthiness testing and analysis of composite structures. I focused on the commercial ...
