✦ Synopsis

Dewetting of colloidal suspensions across countered surfaces has been combined with capillary forces to assemble spherical colloids into complex and well-controlled structures that include circular rings, polygonal and polyhedral clusters, and linear, zigzag, and spiral chains. It is also possible to generate hetero-aggregates in the configuration of HF and H 2 O molecules that contain spherical colloids of different sizes, compositions, densities, functions, or a combination of these features.
