Article Synopsis
- Scientists try to copy nature's amazing structures, but making complex supercrystals from tiny particles (called nanoparticles) is hard because they're usually very symmetrical.
- This study looks at how the shape of these nanoparticles and their shapes' confinement in specially designed molds can help them stick together to form new supercrystals.
- The researchers found that the edges of the mold help direct the growth of the crystals and that having flat surfaces is important for making sure they grow the right way, which could help create new types of materials.
