The real-space dynamics in a model system of colloidal hard spheres was studied by means
of time-resolved fluorescence confocal scanning microscopy. Direct experimental evidence …

Colloidal particles with site-specific directional interactions, so called “patchy particles”, are
promising candidates for bottom-up assembly routes towards complex structures with …

We propose a mechanism for mesophase separation in a system of aggregating colloids.
Conditions are outlined under which colloids can form equilibrium clusters with very large sizes…

We show that under appropriate conditions, mixtures of oil, water, and nanoparticles form
thermodynamically stable oil-in-water emulsions with monodisperse droplet diameters in the …

We report a single step procedure to prepare monodisperse colloidal poly(methyl)methacrylate
(PMMA) particles where fluorescent dyes are incorporated into the polymer network. The …

We present a thermodynamic evaluation of the self-assembly of charged nanometer-sized
particles at the water/oil interface. The chemical potentials of the nanoparticles in the bulk (…

A facile and flexible synthesis for colloidal molecules with well-controlled shape and tunable
patchiness is presented. Cross-linked polystyrene spheres with a liquid protrusion were …

We present the first real-space analysis on a single-particle level of the dipolar chains and
branched clusters self-assembling in magnetic fluids in zero field. Spatial correlations and …

Recent experiments show that, in the range from ∼15 to 45C, an increase in the temperature
promotes the spontaneous assembly into capsids of the Escherichia coli-expressed coat …

We present a straightforward technique for the synthesis of asymmetric colloidal molecules
with uniform and well-controlled bond angles. The new method makes use of coalescence of …
