Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have
become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape …

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

Nanoparticle assembly and attachment are common pathways of crystal growth by which
particles organize into larger scale materials with hierarchical structure and long-range …

An acid-resistant DNA hydrogel that is stable in an extremely acidic environment with pH as
low as 1.2 has not been reported before, largely due to the instability of DNA-hybridized …

The predictable nature of DNA interactions enables the programmable assembly of highly
advanced 2D and 3D DNA structures of nanoscale dimensions. The access to ever larger …

Molecular plasmonics, the area which deals with the interactions between surface plasmons
and molecules, has received enormous interest in fundamental research and found …

The spatial arrangement of plasmonic nanoparticles can dramatically affect their interaction
with electromagnetic waves, which offers an effective approach to systematically control their …

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 …

Electrochemical deposition has been widely used to prepare conformal coatings but has
rarely been used to design well-defined micro/nanostructures. Here we report …
