Chemical methods developed over the past two decades enable preparation of colloidal
nanocrystals with uniform size and shape. These Brownian objects readily order into …

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

In recent years, the self-assembly of copolymer micelles has become an appealing frontier
of supramolecular chemistry as a strategy to construct superstructures with multiple levels of …

Inorganic materials with controllable shapes have been an intensely studied subject in
nanoscience over the past decades. Control over novel and anisotropic shapes of inorganic …

The creation of a new material often starts from the design of its constituent building blocks
at a smaller scale. From macromolecules to colloidal architectures, to granular systems, the …

Nanomanufacturing, the commercially scalable and economically sustainable mass
production of nanoscale materials and devices, represents the tangible outcome of the …

The availability of metamaterials with properties that can be actively tuned is crucial for the
future development of various metamaterial-based technologies. Here we show that by …

Abstract Machines enabled the Industrial Revolution and are central to modern
technological progress: A machine's parts transmit forces, motion, and energy to one …

The rapid development of self-assembly approaches has enabled the creation of materials
with desired organization of nanoscale components. However, achieving dynamic control …

Burgeoning interest in supracolloidal assembly has reached the point at which the field can
seek so-called intelligent design rather than solely rely on evolution. Emphasizing Janus …
