The site‐specific engineering of colloidal surfaces has provided a powerful approach to
pushing the boundaries of today's materials research. The resulting surface‐anisotropic and …

Recently, an increasing experimental effort has been devoted to the synthesis of complex
colloidal particles with chemically or physically patterned surfaces and possible specific …

Résumé An increasing theoretical and experimental effort has been recently dedicated to
the design and the fabrication of colloidal particles that may recognize each other and …

We perform numerical simulations of a simple model of one-patch colloidal particles to
investigate:(i) the behavior of the gas–liquid phase diagram on moving from a spherical …

We present a generalized connectedness percolation theory reduced to a compact form for
a large class of anisotropic particle mixtures with variable degrees of connectivity. Even …

We propose a minimal model for spherical proteins with aeolotopic pair interactions to
describe the equilibrium phase behavior of lysozyme. The repulsive screened Coulomb …

We report on a computer simulation and integral equation study of a simple model of patchy
spheres, each of whose surfaces is decorated with two opposite attractive caps, as a …

The so-called extended law of corresponding states, as proposed by Noro and Frenkel [J.
Chem. Phys. 113, 2941 (2000)], involves a map** of the phase behaviors of systems with …

We have investigated the self-assembly scenario of patchy colloidal particles in a two-
dimensional system. The energetically most favourable ordered particle arrangements have …

Crystallography may be the gold standard of protein structure determination, but obtaining
the necessary high-quality crystals is also in some ways akin to prospecting for the precious …
