The spontaneous assembly of chiral structures from building blocks that lack chirality is
fundamentally important for colloidal chemistry and has implications for the formation of …

Public attention to the food scandals raises an urgent need to develop effective and reliable
methods to detect food contaminants. The current prevailing detections are primarily based …

For nanoparticle-based technologies, efficient and rapid approaches that yield particles of
high purity with a specific shape and size are critical to optimize the nanostructure …

Sheet‐like mimic enzyme: A novel nanostructure (see figure) of sheet‐like FeS with
peroxidase‐like activity was synthesized as a mimic enzyme for the development of …

While the traditional consensus dictates that high ion concentrations lead to negligible long-
range electrostatic interactions, we demonstrate that electrostatic correlations prevail in …

Cationic gemini surfactants have been extensively studied in the recent past and the effect of
chain length, spacer length and nature on aggregation behavior has been examined. But …

Controlling the morphological characteristics of micellar solutions is important for surfactant
performance and for achieving desired properties. In this work we study how monovalent …

We report that triangular gold nanoprisms in the presence of attractive depletion forces and
repulsive electrostatic forces assemble into equilibrium one-dimensional lamellar crystals in …

Janus particles, which have an attractive patch on the otherwise repulsive surface, have
been commonly employed for anisotropic colloidal assembly. While current methods of …

Tough hydrogels usually have heterogeneous structures. Revealing microstructure
formation and variations under specific conditions is important for the structure–property …
