Over the last three decades, photonic crystals (PhCs) have attracted intense interests thanks
to their broad potential applications in optics and photonics. Generally, these structures can …

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

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

This review describes the latest advances in the synthesis and assembly of specific colloids
such as the colloidal molecules as defined by van Blaaderen in 2003 and the patchy …

Shape of particulate drug carries has been identified as a key parameter in determining their
biological outcome. In this review, we analyze the field of particle shape as it shifts from …

Assembling colloidal particles using site-selective directional interactions into
predetermined colloidal superlattices with desired properties is broadly sought after, but …

Advanced in vitro diagnosis technologies are highly desirable in early detection, prognosis,
and progression monitoring of diseases. Here, we engineer a multiplex protein biosensing …

Sophisticated shape‐shifting structures and integration of advanced functions often call for
different‐chemistry‐based polymers (such as epoxy and polyurethane) in a unified system …

Controlling the complex dynamics of active colloids—the autonomous locomotion of
colloidal particles and their spontaneous assembly—is challenging yet crucial for creating …

Creation of architectures with exquisite hierarchies actuates the germination of
revolutionized functions and applications across a wide range of fields. Hierarchical self …
