Colloidal self-assembly refers to a solution-processed assembly of nanometer-/micrometer-
sized, well-dispersed particles into secondary structures, whose collective properties are …

What to measure? is a key question in nanoscience, and it is not straightforward to address
as different physicochemical properties define a nanoparticle sample. Most prominent …

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 …

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

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

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 …

Applications of cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted increasing attention in recent
years. One conceivable path lies in their commercial applications for packaging, in which …

BACKGROUND Numerous lines of evidence challenge the traditional interpretations of how
crystals nucleate and grow in synthetic and natural systems. In contrast to the monomer-by …

BACKGROUND Interactions between inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are central to a wide
spectrum of physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. An understanding of these …

Widespread usage of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products has resulted in
their presence in the aquatic environment. The evolution of the properties of AgNPs with …
