Colloidal self-assembly is a process where colloidal particles spontaneously organize into ordered structures under specific conditions. Colloidal self-assembly serves as a foundation for designing ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Colloids are nanoscale particles that are finely distributed throughout a liquid. The suspension of nanoparticles has many uses – in foods, cosmetics, healthcare products, ...

Active matter systems feature unique behaviors that include collective self-assembly structures and collective migration. However, the efforts to realize collective entities in spaces without ...

Inspired by multiprotein complexes in biology and recent successes in synthetic DNA tile and colloidal self-assembly, we study the spontaneous assembly of structures made of many kinds of components.
