Feel the Attraction of Zwitterionic Janus Particles
Feel the Attraction of Zwitterionic Janus Particles

Researchers from The University of Tokyo created a more accurate computer simulation of double-faced nanoparticles that form self-assembled structures based on electrostatic attraction. By including temporary charge fluctuations, compact clusters are shown to be a possible outcome, which may lead to new smart nanomaterials.
