A new “plug-and-play” method to assemble complex cell microenvironments is a scalable, highly precise way to fabricate tissues with any spatial organization or interest—like those found in the heart ...

The thecosomes are a group of planktonic pteropods with thin, 1 mm-sized aragonitic shells, which are known to possess a unique helical microstructure consisting of interlocking nanofibres. Here we ...

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 ...

BECKER COUNTY, Minn. - Tyler Tollefson describes the Lego situation in his room as "organized chaos." A pathway in his room leads by a mass of colorful, plastic, interlocking building blocks. "The bad ...

New York, NY—March 11, 2013—Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new "plug-and-play" method to assemble complex cell microenvironments that is a scalable, highly precise way to ...
