There is currently intense interest in the topological construction of mesoporous materials both at the molecular and macroscale levels1 because of the need for selective processing of mesoporous materials into forms suitable for applications in catalysis,2 separations,3,4 chemical sensing, low-dielectric coatings,5 and optical communications.6 Mesoporous silica films have been grown under acid...

Transparent aligned composite or porous silica structures are desirable for use as membranes or as host materials for optical dyes, conducting polymers, and large molecules. However, few bulk aligned structures with orientational order have been produced.1-4 Moreover, those that have been produced are generally not transparent and thus are not useful for optical applications. Creating orientati...

The influence of genome organization on transcription is central to our understanding cell type specification. Higher-order established through short- and long-range DNA interactions. Coordination these interactions, from single atoms entire chromosomes, plays a fundamental role in transcriptional control gene expression. Loss this coupling can result disease. Analysis regulation typically invo...
