A popular technique that helps scientists deposit defined layers of tightly packed organic molecules onto solid surfaces is getting its first major update in more than 80 years. Researchers at ...

In the 1930s, Irving Langmuir and his colleague Katharine Blodgett were working long days in the General Electric Company’s research laboratory. Together, they discovered that by spreading molecules ...

Controllable assembly of diverse rare-earth nanocrystals via the Langmuir-Blodgett technique and the underlying size- and symmetry-dependent assembly kinetics.

Optically pure, helical poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s (degree of polymerization, n=10–100), prepared by asymmetric living polymerization of 1,2-diisocyano-3,6 ...

The properties of single-sheet graphene (SG) (Figure 1), such as superior tensile strength, high thermal and electrical conductivity, make it a potential material for applications, including building ...
