Nanoparticle self-assembly and colloidal systems represent a dynamic field where nanoscale building blocks spontaneously organise into larger, functional structures. This process leverages a balance ...

Colloidal self-assembly is a process where colloidal particles spontaneously organize into ordered structures under specific conditions. Colloidal self-assembly serves as a foundation for designing ...

Prof. PENG Chenhui's team from the School of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), realized the collective transfer and reconfigurable self-assembly of colloidal particles by ...

Active matter systems feature unique behaviors that include collective self-assembly structures and collective migration. However, the efforts to realize collective entities in spaces without ...

A project at the University of Birmingham has devised a way of fabricating a complex optically active structure usually found in nature, to open up new ways for manipulating and controlling light.
