Professor Erwin Frey, Chair of Statistical and Biological Physics at LMU and member of the ORIGINS Excellence Cluster, and his research fellow Dr. Florian Gartner have now investigated an aspect of ...

Boron Nitride (BN) exhibits multiple polymorphic forms, with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN) being the most significant. h-BN is known for its graphite-like layered ...

Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) has developed the first tri-continuous mesoporous material using a unique surfactant template. This completely new porous structure ...

The increasing importance of crystalline nanostructures in nanotechnology has sparked much research towards controlling their structures and morphologies — which in turn determine their properties.

Nanotechnology is a rapidly evolving field that continually pushes the boundaries of what is possible at the nanoscale. In recent years, diamond has been the go-to material for quantum sensing, thanks ...

Physicists show that the shape of components is a major determinant of how quickly and efficiently complex structures self-assemble. Physicists at LMU Munich show that the shape of components is a ...
