Superior to one of Glass: Natural Gradient index Lenses via Patchy Particle Self-Assembly
… thesis, I study the material properties and the self-assembly of the squid lens system. I show that squids have evolved graded index and low density fluctuation in a spherical lens using a suite of proteins that can act as patchy colloids with specific, low valence (M=2 or M=3) with geometric …

Direct imaging of self-assembly behaviors of colloids: from the microscale plates to the nanoscale cubes
Microscale and nanoscale colloidal particle self-assembly is widely studied to establish the design rules towards ordered structures and used as atomic model systems for phase transition studies such as crystallization and growth. The well-established synthetic library enables the synthesis of …
