Nanoparticle Assemblies of Modern Complexity

Date: April 17, 2024

Time: 11:00AM - 12:30PM

You must be registered to participate!

Nanoparticle assemblies have reached at an extremely high level of controllability, sophistication, and complexity. The concept of complexity in the context of materials science for nanoparticles can be viewed as a combination of order and disorder, ranging from crystalline superlattices on one end of the spectrum to aperiodic assemblies on the other end, such as in gels, networks and amorphous solids. Intertwining order and disorder in materials enables unique combinations of mechanical, chemical, and optical properties. The articles in the April 2024 issue of MRS Bulletin aim to provide a review of the research efforts in this broadened materials design space of nanoparticle assemblies including experiments, theory, simulation, characterization and applications.

This webinar complements the April 2024 theme issue of MRS Bulletin on this topic and presents talks by select authors in the issue.

Hosts:
  • Qian Chen, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
  • Xin Zhang, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Details for this event will be announced shortly. This webinar is presented in conjunction with the April 2024 issue of MRS Bulletin.
