Journal ArticleDOI
How a raindrop gets shattered on biological surfaces
TL;DR: This study reported unexpected and interesting shock-like patterns when a drop impacts biological surfaces at high speeds, which may elucidate biological advantages (hypothermia risk reduction for birds, flight stability for insects, spore dispersal on plants) of superhydrophobic surfaces triggered by microstructures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymerization-Like Co-Assembly of Silver Nanoplates and Patchy Spheres
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ultra-anisometric nanoplates, which have a nanoscale thickness but a micrometer-scale edge length, offer many material design capabilities and are seen as one representative of a broader class of dual length-scale nanoparticles, with the potential to enrich the library of structures and properties available to the nanoparticle self-assembly toolbox.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconfigurable Polymer Shells on Shape-Anisotropic Gold Nanoparticle Cores.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the PS-b-PAA-coated hybrid nanoparticles, the shell segregation is maintained even after a further decoration of the shell periphery with gold seeds, which can potentially facilitate subsequent deposition of other nanostructures to enrich structural and functional diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical self-assembly of 3D lattices from polydisperse anisometric colloids
TL;DR: The authors find that highly polydisperse anisometric colloids self-assemble into 3D, periodic lattices in a manner hardly inaccessible to nano- or micron-scale colloids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano/Micro-scale numerical simulation and microscopic analysis on metal/oxide interfaces: A review
TL;DR: In this paper , a review of recent researches and scientific issues faced in nano/micro-scale numerical simulation of metal/oxide interfaces, as well as microstructure-related microscopic analysis is provided.
