Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have devised a technique whereby self-assembling nanoparticle arrays can form a highly ordered thin film over macroscopic distances in one minute.</a><br><br><a href="https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2014/06/09/nanoparticle-thin-films-that-self-assemble-in-one-minute/">READ MORE ON BERKELEY LAB</a>
