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

Molecular recognition, which is the process of biological macromolecules interacting with
each other or various small molecules with a high specificity and affinity to form a specific …

Atoms serve as an inspiration for colloidal self-assembly, whereby building blocks can
combine and confer endless functionality using a few design principles, including …

BACKGROUND Colloids consist of solid or liquid particles, each about a few hundred
nanometers in size, dispersed in a fluid and kept suspended by thermal fluctuations …

The crystallization of microparticles with primarily single-stranded DNA can lead to more
ordered structures, in which the flexibility of the DNA design imparts several advantages …

DNA is not just the stuff of our genetic code; it is also a means to design self-assembling
materials. Grafting DNA onto nano-and microparticles can, in principle,'program'them with …

Recent studies have garnered considerable interest in the field of propulsion to maneuver
micro-and nanosized objects. Acoustics provide an alternate and attractive method to …

Patches on the surfaces of colloidal particles,,,, provide directional information that enables
the self-assembly of the particles into higher-order structures. Although computational tools …
