Earth's surface is composed of a staggering diversity of particulate–fluid mixtures: dry to wet,
dilute to dense, colloidal to granular and attractive to repulsive particles. This material variety …

Recent progress in submicron-and nano-fabrication technologies has led to the emergence
of novel photonic structures such as optical nanoantennas and metasurfaces. Real-life …

Here, we applied direct laser-induced periodic surface structuring to drive the phase
transition of amorphous silicon (a-Si) into nanocrystalline (nc) Si imprinted as regular …

We review past and recent progress in nanoimprint lithography (NIL) methods to (nano-)
structure inorganic materials from sol–gel liquid formulations and colloidal suspensions onto …

We extend the symmetrized parametric finite method for the evolution of a closed curve
under anisotropic surface diffusion in two dimensions, recently proposed by us [W. Bao, W …

Silicon‐based micro‐and nano‐structures for light management at near‐infrared and visible
frequencies have been widely exploited for guided optics and metasurfaces. However, light …

We study the dynamics of a small solid particle arising from the dewetting of a thin film on a
curved substrate driven by capillarity, where mass transport is controlled by surface …

Materials featuring anomalous suppression of density fluctuations over large length scales
are emerging systems known as disordered hyperuniform. The underlying hidden order …

Tissue folds are structural motifs critical to organ function. In the intestine, bending of a flat
epithelium into a periodic pattern of folds gives rise to villi, finger-like protrusions that enable …

Dielectric Mie resonators are taking momentum in the last years thanks to their peculiar
properties in light management at visible and near‐infrared frequencies. However, their full …
