Chemical methods developed over the past two decades enable preparation of colloidal
nanocrystals with uniform size and shape. These Brownian objects readily order into …

Self-assembly of various building blocks has been considered as a powerful approach to
generate novel materials with tailorable structures and optimal properties. Understanding …

BACKGROUND Colloids consist of solid or liquid particles, each about a few hundred
nanometers in size, dispersed in a fluid and kept suspended by thermal fluctuations …

Although dynamic self-assembly, DySA, is a relatively new area of research, the past
decade has brought numerous demonstrations of how various types of components–on …

The freud Python package is a library for analyzing simulation data. Written with modern
simulation and data analysis workflows in mind, freud provides a Python interface to fast …

Clusters in systems as diverse as metal atoms, virus proteins, noble gases, and nucleons
have properties that depend sensitively on the number of constituent particles. Certain …

In 1989, Sir Sam Edwards made the visionary proposition to treat jammed granular materials
using a volume ensemble of equiprobable jammed states in analogy to thermal equilibrium …

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 …

Self-assembly of individual building blocks into highly ordered structures, analogous to
spontaneous growth of crystals from atoms, is a promising approach to realize the collective …

Integrating nanoscale building blocks of low dimensionality (0D; ie, spheres) into higher
dimensional structures endows them and their corresponding materials with emergent …
