Colloidal self-assembly is a promising bottom-up route to a wide variety of three-
dimensional structures, from clusters to crystals. Programming hierarchical self-assembly of …

Colloidal open crystals are attractive materials, especially for their photonic applications.
Self-assembly appeals as a bottom-up route for structure fabrication, but self-assembly of …

Magnetically guided self-assembly of nanoparticles is a promising bottom-up method to
fabricate novel materials and superstructures, such as, for example, magnetic nanoparticle …

Curvature impacts physical properties across multiple length scales, ranging from the
macroscopic scale, where the shape and size vary drastically with the curvature, to the …

Multi-shelled hollow structures have attracted extensive attention due to their promising
performance in many areas. To date, however, the synthesis of non-spherical hollow …

We investigate the two-dimensional behavior of colloidal patchy ellipsoids specifically
designed to follow a two-step assembly process from the monomer state to mesoscopic …

Self-assembly of microscopic building blocks into highly ordered and functional structures is
ubiquitous in nature and found at all length scales. Hierarchical structures formed by …

We report an interesting case where magnetic phenomena can transcend mesoscopic
scales. Our system consists of tubes created by the assembly of dipolar spheres. The …

To explore the potential of step-by-step assembly in the fabrication of biological materials,
we designed and synthesized two peptide-based molecules for enzyme-instructed …

Network materials can be crystalline or amorphous solids, or even liquids, where typically
directional interactions link the building blocks together, resulting in a physical …
