Nanoparticle self-assembly and colloidal systems represent a dynamic field where nanoscale building blocks spontaneously organise into larger, functional structures. This process leverages a balance ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have devised a way of fabricating a complex structure, previously found only in nature, to open up new ways for manipulating and controlling light. Scientists have devised a way of ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The ...

A project at the University of Birmingham has devised a way of fabricating a complex optically active structure usually found in nature, to open up new ways for manipulating and controlling light.

Highlights of IRG research are reported on an ongoing basis to the NSF MRSEC program. Efficient Electrocatalytic Switching of Azoheteroarenes in the Condensed Phases Azo-based photoswitches show ...

Designing components that can robustly self-assemble into structures with biological complexity is a grand challenge for material science. Proofreading and error ...

Tokyo, Japan – Investigators from the Institute of Industrial Science at The University of Tokyo added the influence of hydrodynamics, which includes the flow and compressibility properties of water, ...
