TL;DR: This review summarizes the major progress in the field, including the principles that permit atomically precise synthesis, new types of atomic structures, and unique physical and chemical properties ofatomically precise nanoparticles, as well as exciting opportunities for nanochemists to understand very fundamental science of colloidal nanoparticles.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nanoparticle self-assembly can reach the same level of hierarchy, complexity, and accuracy as biomolecules, and the driving forces and rules that guide the multiscale assembly behavior are identified.

TL;DR: X-ray crystallography unravels molecular self-assembly and structural ordering on the curved surface of the largest gold nanoparticle, consisting of 133 atoms, and provides a conceptual advance in scientific understanding of pattern structures.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of an ultrasmall nanocluster formulated as Au20(T BBT)16 (TBBT = SPh-t-Bu), which features a vertex-sharing bitetrahedral Au7 kernel and an unprecedented "ring" motif-Au8(SR)8, reveals remarkable size-growth patterns in both geometric structure and electronic nature.

TL;DR: A nanoengineering-based approach is demonstrated that provides control over EI while maintaining nearly constant emission energy in core–shell CdSe/CdS NCs with a variable shell width and can be applied to other nanostructures with variable electron–hole overlap.
