a Inverse separation between nanocaps increases linearly with time. Inset: characteristic separation \({r}_{0}\), from fit to Weibull distribution of nearest separations at \(t\)=32 h. b Distribution of nanocap scattering intensities is exponential, with slope \(\kappa\) which evolves in time. c Extracted \(\kappa,\, {N}_{0}\) as well as total number of nanocaps (black) versus time. d Mean nanocap intensity versus Voronoi area surrounding each one, after \(t\)=63 h. Inset: Voronoi construction for extracting areas (see text).
