Micrometre-sized colloidal particles can be viewed as large atoms with tailorable size,
shape and interactions. These building blocks can assemble into extremely rich structures …

Colloidal photonic crystals (CPCs), which are the ordered assemblies of colloidal particles,
can reflect specific wavelengths of light. In particular, CPCs with controllable optical …

We provide a perspective on polymer glass formation, with an emphasis on models in which
the fluid entropy and collective particle motion dominate the theoretical description and data …

The complexity of shear-induced grain boundary dynamics has been historically difficult to
view at the atomic scale. Meanwhile, two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals have gained …

Crystalline materials at elevated temperatures and pressures can exhibit properties more
reminiscent of simple liquids than ideal crystalline materials. Superionic crystalline materials …

We study experimentally and numerically the motion of a self-phoretic active particle in two-
dimensional loosely packed colloidal crystals at fluid interfaces. Two scenarios emerge …

Yolk–shell particles consist of a hollow shell enclosing a mobile inner particle. Colloidal
crystals made from yolk–shell particles are a unique structure, in which the disorder of highly …

Viscoelastic properties are central for gels and other materials. Simultaneously, high storage
and loss moduli are difficult to attain due to their contrarian requirements to chemical …

Although crystalline materials are often conceptualized as involving a static lattice
configuration of particles, it has recently become appreciated that string-like collective …

In this paper we probe the structural response to oscillatory shear deformations of
polycrystalline monolayers of soft repulsive colloids with varying area fraction over a broad …
