New York University physicists have created "handshaking" particles that linktogether based on their shape rather than randomly. The graphic showshow the researchers developed a "lock and key" mechanism that allowsspecific particles to join together. (Credit: Image courtesy of Nature.)
Physicists at New York University have created "handshaking" particlesthat link together based on their shape rather than randomly. Theirwork, reported in the latest issue of the journal
Nature,marks the first time scientists have succeeded in "programming"particles to join in this manner and offers a type of architecture thatcould enhance the creation of synthetic materials.
