Since the discovery of mechanically exfoliated graphene in 2004, research on ultrathin two-
dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has grown exponentially in the fields of condensed matter …

Emerging classes of 2D noble‐transition‐metal dichalcogenides (NTMDs) stand out for their
unique structure and novel physical properties in recent years. With the nearly full …

In this paper, we review recent progress on colloidal growth of 2D nanocrystals. We identify
the four main sources of anisotropy which lead to the formation of plate-and sheet-like …

Designing nanoscale components and units into functional defined systems and materials
has recently received attention as a nanoarchitectonics approach. In particular, exploration …

Objects in all dimensions are subject to translational dynamism and dynamic mutual
interactions, and the ability to exert control over these events is one of the keys to the …

Materials fabrication with nanoscale structural precision based on bottom-up-type self-
assembly has become more important in various current disciplines in chemistry including …

The Langmuir‐Blodgett (LB) technique is known as an elegant method for fabrication of well‐
defined layered structures with molecular level precision. Since its discovery the LB method …

Non-layer structured nanomaterials with single-or few-layer thickness have two-dimensional
sheet-like structures and possess intriguing properties. Recent years have seen major …

Porphyrins and related families of molecules are important organic modules as has been
reflected in the award of the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry in 1915, 1930, 1961, 1962, 1965 …

Amphiphiles, either synthetic or natural, are structurally simple molecules with the
unprecedented capacity to self-assemble into complex, hierarchical geometries in …
