As a first step to understand the role of molecular or chemical polydispersity in self-assembly, we put forward a coarse-grained model that describes the spontaneous formation of quasi-linear polymers in solutions containing two self-assembling species. Our theoretical framework is based on a two-component self-assembled Ising model in which the chemical bidispersity, i.e., the presence of two ...

[1] Clusters and coalesced complexes of domes represent a relatively rare landform within the extensive, low-relief, lunar maria. While they are typically spectroscopically similar to mare basalts emplaced by high-volume, low-viscosity eruptions, the large-scale morphology of the domes is more consistent with slower emplacement and/or more viscous magma. We use new Earth-based radar data to stu...
