Growing striped nanostructures by pushing current through a solution.
Run a current through the right solution of small molecules and they will assemble on the electrode into anisotropic lamellar nanostructures: stripes, grown rather than fabricated.
Doctoral work with Samuel Stupp, and the first time I designed a molecule for what the bulk material would do rather than for what the molecule itself was.
