NYU researchers coax colloidal spheres to self-assemble into photonic crystals

(NYU Tandon School of Engineering) It is difficult to make colloidal spheres self-assemble into photonic crystals, which are valued for their optical properties. A team of engineers and scientists from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, the NYU Center for Soft Matter Research, and Sungkyunkwan University School of Chemical Engineering in the Republic of Korea report they have found a pathway toward the self-assembly of these elusive photonic crystal structures never assembled before on the sub-micrometer scale.
