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.
