Liquid–fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes
and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in …

Soft microgel particles inherently possess qualities of both polymers as well as particles. We
review the similarities and differences between soft microgel particles and stiff colloids at …

We review studies of levitating droplets over liquid–gas interfaces and dry solid surfaces
with a focus on the physical mechanisms of levitation under different conditions. A …

Solid particles floating at a liquid interface exhibit a long-ranged attraction mediated by
surface tension. In the absence of bulk elasticity, this is the dominant lateral interaction of …

This review explores the intersection between two important fields of colloid and interface
science–that of active colloidal particles and of (passive) particles at fluid-fluid interfaces …

Air‐water interfaces play an important role in unsaturated porous media, giving rise to
phenomena like capillarity. Less recognized and understood are interactions of colloids with …

We have studied the complete two-dimensional phase diagram of a core–shell microgel-
laden fluid interface by synchronizing its compression with the deposition of the interfacial …

In directed assembly, small building blocks are assembled into an organized structure under
the influence of guiding fields. Capillary interactions provide a versatile route for structure …

During the past decade, capillary assembly in topographical templates has evolved into an
efficient method for the heterogeneous integration of micro-and nano-scale objects on a …

Microgels are colloidal hydrogel particles that exhibit a pronounced softness, which arises
from the swollen nature of the constituent polymer network. This softness leads to a …
