The past 20 years have witnessed simultaneous multidisciplinary explosions in
experimental techniques for synthesizing new materials, measuring and manipulating …

Combining nanomaterials and waterborne resins is an effective way to obtain high-
performance waterborne coatings. This paper provides a comprehensive overview on …

I study the contact between a rigid solid with a randomly rough surface and an elastic block
with a flat surface. I derive a relation between the (average) interfacial separation u and the …

We report on the self-assembly of colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets into micrometers long
anisotropic needle-like superparticles (SPs), which are formed in solution upon addition of …

We present a molecular dynamics study of the contact between a rigid solid with a randomly
rough surface and an elastic block with a flat surface. The numerical calculations mainly …

Colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets with monolayer control over their thickness can now be
synthesized in solution and display interesting optical properties. From a fundamental point …

In situ scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was applied for the first time to study
the copper activation and subsequent xanthate adsorption on sphalerite. The corresponding …

Quantum strongly correlated systems that exhibit interesting features in condensed matter
physics often need an unachievable temperature or pressure range in classical materials …

In this work, ZnO hierarchical architectures are successfully fabricated by concentration-
controlled heterogeneous nucleation behavior through a one-pot solution method, free of …

The assembly of nanocrystals into ordered structures called supercrystals or superstructures
has become a pivotal frontier owing to numerous useful applications such as correlating the …
