Natural science-art interactions!
A new class of materials self-assemble into spinning microtubes.
New structures self-assemble in synchronized dance
With self-assembly guiding the steps and synchronization providing the rhythm, a new class of materials forms dynamic, moving structures in an intricate dance. Researchers from the University of Illinois and Northwestern University have demonstrated tiny spheres that synchronize their movements as they self-assemble into a spinning microtube. Such in-motion structures, a blending of mathematics and materials science, could open a new class of technologies with applications in medicine, chemistry and engineering. The results will be published in the Nov. 22 edition of the journal Nature.

Greetings, Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa
Hope you are having a very fine day!
I enjoyed the information and video!
As you know sometimes I use a strong magnetic field when creating some of my small art forms; I found your postings to be very interesting, Thank-you very much!
Best Regards,
