“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.” - theoretical physicist, Nobel price laureate and great popularizer of physics Richard Feynman, May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988
Rapid access to discrete and monodisperse block co-oligomers from sugar and terpenoid toward ultrasmall periodic nanostructuresTue May 10 2022
Discrete block co-oligomers (BCOs) can form highly ordered ultrasmall nanostructures which can be used for lithographic templates. These nanotemplates are promising for the low-cost, large-scale, and high-throughput production of sub-10 nm nanomaterials and nanodevices. However, work-intensive synthetic routes can be an obstacle to their practical application. Read more...
