Water-assembled capsules act as sophisticated nanotools, inducing and tuning chirality in metal dyes without chemical changes, with precise thermal control and adaptability. (Nanowerk News) In nature, ...

The pH-induced reversible opening of nanopores on the surface of polymer-peptide microcapsules allows the encapsulation and controlled release of quantum dots. Polymer microcapsules show promise as ...

New molecular capsules capable of imparting chiral activity to non-chiral metal-containing dyes were successfully created by self-assembly in water, as reported by researchers from Japan. These ...
