Most of the biological interfaces are curved. Understanding the organizational structures and
interaction patterns at such curved biointerfaces is therefore crucial not only for deepening …

Structure prediction of stable and metastable polymorphs of chemical systems in low
dimensions has become an important field, since materials that are patterned on the nano …

This perspective will overview an emerging paradigm for self-organized soft materials,
geometrically frustrated assemblies, where interactions between self-assembling elements …

Due to its atomic scale thickness, the deformation energy in a free standing graphene sheet
can be easily released through out-of-plane wrinkles which, if controllable, may be used to …

Graphene's intrinsically corrugated and wrinkled topology fundamentally influences its
electronic, mechanical, and chemical properties. Experimental techniques allow the …

We study the packing of a large number of congruent and non-overlapping circles inside a
regular polygon. We have devised efficient algorithms that allow one to generate …

Energy landscapes and the closely related cost function landscapes have been recognized
in science, mathematics, and various other fields such as economics as being highly useful …

Lattice kirigami, ultralight metamaterials, polydisperse aggregates, ceramic nanolattices,
and 2D atomic materials share an inherent structural discreteness, and their material …

Crystallization on spherical surfaces is obliged by topology to induce lattice defects. But
controlling the organization of such defects remains a great challenge due to the long-range …

The precise organization of nano-objects into well-defined patterns at interfaces is an
outstanding challenge in the field of nanocomposites toward technologically important …
