Chemists develop a revolutionary material that self-assembles, with potential applications in health and electronics

February 17, 2021 -

As noted by its creators in an article published in the academic journal Chem, creating the material -- which is based on negatively-charged atoms called anions -- was especially challenging, as they had to effectively predict and reproduce its structure based on its environment.

''Anions are widespread in our world, with many of them carrying out specific roles in nature -- for both living and inanimate matter. But, because these processes are often mediated by specificity ...
