Seed-mediated syntheses rely on small nanoparticle (NP) precursors that act as templates
for growth but are often inhomogeneous with respect to their internal twinning structures (eg …

Gas nanobubbles are directly linked to many important chemical reactions. While they can
be detrimental to operational devices, they also reflect the local activity at the nanoscale …

Supercrystals of DNA-functionalized nanoparticles are visualized in three dimensions using
X-ray ptychographic tomography, and their reciprocal spaces are mapped with small-angle …

Throughout history scientists have looked to Nature for inspiration and attempted to replicate
intricate complex structures formed by self-assembly. In the context of synthetic …

This contribution describes the self-assembly of colloidal nanodumbbells (NDs) with tunable
shapes within cylindrical channels. We present that the intrinsic concave geometry of NDs …

Depletion‐induced self‐assembly is routinely used to separate plasmonic nanoparticles
(NPs) of different shapes, but less often for its ability to create supercrystals (SCs) in …

Packing solid shapes into regular lattices can yield very complex assemblies, not all of
which achieve the highest packing fraction. In two dimensions, the regular pentagon is …

Anisotropic nanoparticles have been widely used as building blocks for preparing surface-
enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates. However, tailoring the SERS activity at …

This study presents a straightforward and efficient synthetic approach for producing high‐
yield, ready‐to‐use, free‐standing super‐powder. The synthesis protocol demonstrates …

Self‐assembly of nanoparticles into supercrystals represents a powerful approach to create
unique and complex superstructures with fascinating properties and novel functions, but the …
