Silicon sheets self-assemble into spheres to capture more light. A Superlens That Assembles Itself Easily made nanolenses can perform superhigh-resolution lithography and imaging. Designing Structures Made of Nanomaterials Microsoft researchers hope to simplify algorithms for self-assembling materials. Higher-Performance Plastic Electronics A new way of printing organic electronics is more reliable and yields higher performance. Researchers have made new nano building blocks for optical computing and solar-cell coatings. Self-Assembled Organic Circuits Molecules that form an ordered layer could lead to low-cost, bendable plastic electronics. Building a Self-Assembling Stomach-Bot Modules that self-assemble inside the stomach could perform more-sophisticated diagnosis and treatment. Virus-Assembled Microbatteries Researchers at MIT used a virus to assemble two major components of a working microbattery. Living Legos can be directed to form tissue-like structures. Nanohealing Material Heads to Market A startup is planning human trials for a nanostructured material that quickly stops bleeding. Injected directly into the spinal cords of paralyzed mice, a new material restores use of the animals' hind legs. Self-Assembling Nanostructures Researchers find an easy route to complex nanomaterials. By measuring nanoscale forces, researchers learn to make lithium-ion batteries that pull themselves together.
