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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
