Catenanes -- materials made of interlocking molecules, similar to medieval chain mail -- have proved laborious to make since their discovery 25 years ago. Now, chemists have found a way to make ...

Topological interlocking materials and structures represent an innovative design approach in which individual, often geometrically complex, elements are arranged to mutually constrain one another.

The desire to have a bit of land to call your own is not an uncommon one. However, in the Bay Area, finding our own personal outdoor space can be a challenge. Some of us live in newer housing ...

Nanoscientists have developed a blueprint to fabricate new heterostructures from different types of 2-D materials, single atom layers that can be stacked together like 'nano-interlocking building ...

University of California, Berkeley, chemists have created a new type of material from millions of identical, interlocking molecules that for the first time allows the synthesis of extensive 2D or 3D ...
