Nanoscale fluorescence emitters are efficient for measuring biomolecular interactions, but
their utility for applications requiring single-unit observations is constrained by the need for …

The colloidal domain is characterized by the dimensions of its constituents in the range from
several nanometers to micrometers. Often, these individual entities are organized in …

The special mechanical properties of nanoparticles allow for novel applications in many
fields, eg, surface engineering, tribology and nanomanufacturing/nanofabrication. In this …

When a drop of liquid dries on a solid surface, its suspended particulate matter is deposited
in ring-like fashion. This phenomenon, known as the coffee-ring effect,,, is familiar to anyone …

Natural structural color materials, especially those that can undergo reversible changes, are
attracting increasing interest in a wide variety of research fields. Inspired by the natural …

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and
nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and …

Colloidal particles may be considered as building blocks for materials, just like atoms are the
bricks of molecules, macromolecules, and crystals. Periodic arrays of colloids (colloidal …

Materials whose dielectric constant varies spatially with submicrometer periodicity exhibit
diffractive optical properties which are potentially valuable in a number of existing and …

The influence of the small ionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the evaporation
of drying colloidal droplets is quantitatively investigated. The addition of SDS leads to a …
