Controlling water evaporation through self-assembly

Controlling active self-assembly through broken particle-shape symmetry.

Many structural properties of conventional passive materials are known to arise from the symmetries of their microscopic constituents. By contrast, it is largely unclear how the interplay between particle shape and self-propulsion controls the meso- and macroscale behavior of active matter. Here we use large-scale simulations of homo- and heterogeneous self-propelled particle systems to identif...

Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly: Nanostructures Made Easy

As we look toward the next millennium, we envision new technologies based on nanoscale machines and devices. Key to the realization of this nanotech world are simple, efficient methods of organizing materials (molecules, molecular clusters, polymers, or, generally speaking, building blocks) into precise, predetermined nanostructures that can be preserved in a robust engineering form. Marine org...
