  • Mimicking the intrinsic adaptability of biological systems in synthetic materials has been a challenge. Here, Sacanna and co-workers have used dewetting forces between an oil phase and solid colloidal substrate to facilitate shape shifting particles that can change geometry by chemical and optical signals.

  • This study reveals how ionic colloidal crystals form through a two-step process, where amorphous blobs condense before transforming into ordered structures. By tuning interactions via continuous dialysis, researchers uncovered new crystal types, including a previously unknown open-framework structure.

  • Colloidal self-assembly requires carefully balanced particle interactions that are often incompatible with the mechanical disturbances associated with macroscopic-scale manufacturing. Now, a practical bottom-up route has enabled the production of bulk solid materials with nanoscale components.

  • Myriad complex colloidal particles have been engineered to investigate the growth of microscopic architectures from the bottom up. This Review provides a framework for the synthesis of such particles using an analogy to traditional total synthesis, describing how elementary particles are combined and transformed into new forms of colloidal matter.
