Catenanes -- materials made of interlocking molecules, similar to medieval chain mail -- have proved laborious to make since their discovery 25 years ago. Now, chemists have found a way to make ...

Purdue postdoctoral research associate Yuezhong Feng creates an interlocking structure using a 3-D printer. Purdue researchers are working with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to develop a ...

In a feat of chemistry imitating art, researchers have created a molecular version of a Borromean knot, an attractive pattern of three interlocking rings that commonly adorned Viking art and ...

University of California, Berkeley, chemists have created a new type of material from millions of identical, interlocking molecules that for the first time allows the synthesis of extensive 2D or 3D ...
