The colloidal domain is characterized by the dimensions of its constituents in the range from
several nanometers to micrometers. Often, these individual entities are organized in …

Nature evolved a variety of hierarchical structures that produce sophisticated functions.
Inspired by these natural materials, colloidal self-assembly provides a convenient way to …

Graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerene are representative nanocarbons which have
zero, one, or two dimensional structures, respectively. These nanocarbons can be used as …

Colloidal lithography based on monolayer colloidal crystals (MCCs) is a facile, inexpensive,

Self-assembly of quasi-spherical colloidal particles in two-dimensional (2D) arrangements is
essential for a wide range of applications from optoelectronics to surface engineering, from …

For thin-film solar cells, light absorption is usually proportional to the film thickness.
However, if freely propagating sunlight can be transformed into a guided mode,[1] the optical …

This article presents a comprehensive review about the current research activities on
colloidal lithography, a highly efficient technology for fabricating large-area patterned …

We review recent progress in the development of two-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal
(PC) materials for chemical and biological sensing applications. Self-assembly methods …

Structural coloring is production of color by surfaces that have microstructure fine enough to
interfere with visible light; this phenomenon provides a novel paradigm for color printing …

Medical patches have been widely explored and applied in various medical fields,
