Controlled vapor treatment guides molecules into highly oriented soft quasicrystals

Molecules can spontaneously organize into complex, ordered structures through a process known as self-assembly. Among these structures, soft quasicrystals display unusual patterns that do not repeat regularly like conventional crystals. However, producing such structures with a u This story matters for Science & Discovery readers tracking insect. Reported by phys.org. Read the full original at the source link below.
