Professor Xu Recognized for Research on Quickly Self-Assembling Thin Films

Professor Xu recently reported in Nature Communications a new technique for the accelerated generation of nanoparticle assemblies.  The technique enables self assembly processes that normally require hours to order up, to be formed in just one minute.  The achievement opens up exciting possibilities or nanomanufacturing and for development of metamaterials for applications spanning solar energy to nanoelectronics.
