With the development of optical technologies, transparent materials that provide protection
from light have received considerable attention from scholars. As important channels for …

Self‐assembly fundamentally implies the organization of small sub‐units into large
structures or patterns without the intervention of specific local interactions. This process is …

A limitation in nanoparticle (NP) superlattice engineering is that the identities of the particles
being assembled often determine the structures that can be synthesized. In a typical …

Naturally derived materials with hierarchical organization are attractive candidates for high-
performance and functional bionanocomposites because of their renewability …

Metamaterials, artificial composite structures with exotic material properties, have emerged
as a new frontier of science involving physics, material science, engineering and chemistry …

The self-assembly of colloids is an alternative to top-down processing that enables the
fabrication of nanostructures. We show that self-assembled clusters of metal-dielectric …

Understanding how polyhedra pack into extended arrangements is integral to the design
and discovery of crystalline materials at all length scales,,. Much progress has been made in …

Directional bonding interactions in solid-state atomic lattices dictate the unique symmetries
of atomic crystals, resulting in a diverse and complex assortment of three-dimensional …

Self‐assembly of colloidal microspheres or nanospheres is an effective strategy for
fabrication of ordered nanostructures. By combination of colloidal self‐assembly with …

Over the past few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the fabrication of
complex high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) architectures at micro/nanoscale. These …
