In this work, we show how the kinetics of molecular self-assembly can be coupled with the
kinetics of the colloidal self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles, which in turn drives the …

Imparting porosity to inorganic nanoparticle assemblies to build up self-assembled open
porous nanoparticle superstructures represents one of the most challenging issues and will …

Nanoparticle assembly can be controlled by multivalent binding interactions between
surface ligands, indicating that more precise control over these interactions is important to …

Self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) into superstructures offers a flexible and
promising pathway to manipulate the nanometer-sized particles and thus make full use of …

Chiroptical materials found in butterflies, beetles, stomatopod crustaceans, and other
creatures are attributed to biocomposites with helical motifs and multiscale hierarchical …

The physical characteristics of composite materials are dictated by both the chemical
composition and spatial configuration of each constituent phase. A major challenge in …

The bottom-up fabrication of surface hierarchical nanostructures is of great importance for
the development of molecular nanostructures for chiral molecular recognition and …

One basic principle regulating self-assembly is associated with the asymmetry of constituent
building blocks or packing models. Using asymmetry to manipulate molecular-level devices …

Conspectus Current interest in nanoparticle ensembles is motivated by their collective
synergetic properties that are distinct from or better than those of individual nanoparticles …

Self-organization of colloidal Pt nanocubes into two types of distinct ordered superlattices,
simple-cubic and body-centered-tetragonal structures, has been achieved using a home …
