Nanoparticle assembly and attachment are common pathways of crystal growth by which
particles organize into larger scale materials with hierarchical structure and long-range …

This review highlights recent efforts on applying electron microscopy (EM) to soft (including
biological) nanomaterials. We will show how developments of both the hardware and …

Unit‐cell‐thick MoS2 is a promising electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction
(HER) owing to its tunable catalytic activity, which is determined based on the energetics …

We explore the potential of nanocrystals (a term used equivalently to nanoparticles) as
building blocks for nanomaterials, and the current advances and open challenges for …

Self‐assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) has evolved into a powerful tool for the synthesis of
superstructures with tailored properties. The quality, diversity, and complexity of synthesized …

Unlike in the bulk, at the nanoscale shape dictates properties. The imperative to understand
and predict nanocrystal shape led to the development, over several decades, of a large …

Conspectus One emergent theme in “soft matter” is to understand and manipulate the self-
organization of synthetic materials and biological entities in space and time at the …

Nanoparticle-based superlattices have attracted extensive research efforts due to their
versatile composition and packing-dependent optical, magnetic, electronic, catalytic …

Ultrasmall nanomotors (< 100 nm) are highly desirable nanomachines for their size-specific
advantages over their larger counterparts in applications spanning nanomedicine, directed …

The crystallization of materials from a suspension determines the structure and function of
the final product, and numerous pieces of evidence have pointed out that the classical …
