Self-assembling and complex, nanoscale mesocrystals can be tuned for a variety of uses

A research team from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces reports to have found the key to controlled fabrication of cerium oxide mesocrystals. The research is a step forward in tuning nanomaterials that can serve a wide range of uses -including solar cells, fuel catalysts and even medicine.
