Stimulus-responsive photonic crystals (PCs) possessing unconventional nonclosely packed
structures have received growing attention due to their unique capability of mimicking the …

Droplet microfluidics generates and manipulates discrete droplets through immiscible
multiphase flows inside microchannels. Due to its remarkable advantages, droplet …

Symmetric shapes and patterns are fascinating and preferred by humans as symmetric
stimuli of any kind are more easily processed by the visual systems than their asymmetric …

Although the concept of Janus particles was raised in the early 1990s, the related research
has not attracted considerable interest until recently due to the special properties and …

Flexible supercapacitors have recently attracted intense interest. However, achieving high
energy density via practical materials and synthetic techniques is a major challenge. Here …

We report the facile synthesis of carbon dots with tunable fluorescence from unzipping of
photonic crystals and their application in LEDs, which may provide an insight into the …

Janus particles have a noncentral symmetric structure. Since they have two or more different
physical and chemical properties, they show different properties and application potential of …

Combination of quantum dots (QDs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as magnetic
quantum dots (MQDs) has a broad range of applications as multifunctional nanoscale …

We report a simple, low-cost and green route for fabrication of fluorescent carbon dots
(CDs), and demonstrate their applications in sensing, patterning, and coding. Pyrolysis of …

Janus particles are a unique class of multifunctional patchy particles combining two
dissimilar chemical or physical functionalities at their opposite sides. The asymmetry …
