Segmented gold–ruthenium nanorods (300±30 nm in diameter and 2.0±0.2 μm in length)
with thin Ni segments at one end assemble into few-particle, geometrically regular dimers …

Tunable interparticle interactions in colloidal suspensions are of great interest because of
their fundamental and practical significance. In this paper we present a new experimental …

In this study, we develop and compare new and existing methods for computing the
magnetic interactions between paramagnetic particles in magnetorheological (MR) fluids …

Ultrathin films of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are obtained by using a convective
assembly setup coupled with a low-strength external AC electric field. The orientation and …
