BROOKLYN, N.Y., Feb. 28 -- New York University's Tandon School of Engineering issued the following news release:
Colloidal particles, used in a range of technical applications including foods, inks, paints, and cosmetics, can self-assemble into a remarkable variety of densely-packed crystalline structures. For decades, though, researchers have been trying to coax colloidal spheres to arranging themselves into much more sparsely populated lattices in order to unleash potentially va . . .
