Abstract: The densest packings of identical spherical colloidal nanocrystals in a thin cylinder generally give rise to confinement-induced chiral ordering. Here, we demonstrate that entropy can invalidate Pauling's packing rules for the nanocrystals confined in wide… read more here.

Abstract: Nanostructured materials made through flow-assisted assembly of proteinaceous or polymeric nanosized fibrillar building blocks are promising contenders for a family of high-performance biocompatible materials in a wide variety of applications. Optimization of these processes relies… read more here.
