Colloidal self-assembly—the spontaneous organization of colloids into ordered structures—
has been considered key to produce next-generation materials. However, the present-day …

A transition from a square to a hexagonal lattice is studied in a 2D system of particles
interacting via a core-softened potential. Due to the presence of two length scales of …

For many years, quasicrystals were observed only as solid-state metallic alloys, yet current
research is now actively exploring their formation in a variety of soft materials, including …

This review is based on a talk by the authors at the field Scientific session of the Physical
Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences devoted to the 60th anniversary of …

A model, including the chemical details of core nanoparticles as well as explicit surface
charges and hydrophobic patches, of triblock Janus particles is employed to simulate …

A delicate balance of noncovalent interactions directs the hierarchical self-assembly of
molecular amphiphiles into spherical micelles that pack into three-dimensional periodic …

We present computer simulations of a system of purely repulsive soft colloidal particles
interacting via the Hertz potential and constrained to a two-dimensional plane. This potential …

Streptomyces genomes harbor numerous, biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding for
drug-like compounds. While some of these BGCs readily yield expected products, many do …

The development of new materials typically involves a process of trial and error, guided by
insights from past experimental and theoretical findings. The inverse design approach for …

The generalized continuous multiple step (GCMS) potential is presented in this work. Its
flexible form allows for repulsive and/or attractive contributions to be encoded through …
