Abstract
Colorimetric sensing offers instant reporting via visible signals. Versus labor-intensive and instrument-dependent detection methods, colorimetric sensors present advantages including short acquisition time, high throughput screening, low cost, portability, and a user-friendly approach. These advantages have driven substantial growth in colorimetric sensors, particularly in point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. Rapid progress in nanotechnology, materials science, microfluidics technology, biomarker discovery, digital technology, and signal pattern analysis has led to a variety of colorimetric reagents and detection mechanisms, which are fundamental to advance colorimetric sensing applications. This review first summarizes the basic components (e.g., color reagents, recognition interactions, and sampling procedures) in the design of a colorimetric sensing system. It then presents the rationale design and typical examples of POC devices, e.g., lateral flow devices, microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, and wearable sensing devices. Two highlighted colorimetric formats are discussed: combinational and activatable systems based on the sensor-array and lock-and-key mechanisms, respectively. Case discussions in colorimetric assays are organized by the analyte identities. Finally, the review presents challenges and perspectives for the design and development of colorimetric detection schemes as well as applications. The goal of this review is to provide a foundational resource for developing colorimetric systems and underscoring the colorants and mechanisms that facilitate the continuing evolution of POC sensors.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a heightened interest in the self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) that is mediated by their adsorption onto lipid membranes. The interplay between the adhesive energy of NPs on a lipid membrane and the membrane's curvature energy causes it to wrap around the NPs. This results in an interesting membrane curvature-mediated interaction, which can lead to the self-assembly of NPs on lipid membranes. Recent studies have demonstrated that Janus spherical NPs, which adhere to lipid vesicles, can self-assemble into well-ordered nanoclusters with various geometries, including a few Platonic solids. The present study explores the additional effect of geometric anisotropy on the self-assembly of Janus NPs on lipid vesicles. Specifically, the current study utilized extensive molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the arrangement of Janus spherocylindrical NPs on lipid vesicles. We found that the additional geometric anisotropy significantly expands the range of NPs' self-assemblies on lipid vesicles. The specific geometries of the resulting nanoclusters depend on several factors, including the number of Janus spherocylindrical NPs adhering to the vesicle and their aspect ratio. The lipid membrane-mediated self-assembly of NPs, demonstrated by this work, provides an alternative cost-effective route for fabricating highly engineered nanoclusters in three dimensions. Such structures, with the current wide range of material choices, have great potential for advanced applications, including biosensing, bioimaging, drug delivery, nanomechanics, and nanophotonics.

Abstract
From the view of geometry, chirality is that an object cannot overlap with its mirror image, which has been a fundamental scientific problem in biology and chemistry since the 19th century. Chiral inorganic nanomaterials serve as ideal templates for investigating chiral transfer and amplification mechanisms between molecule and bulk materials, garnering widespread attentions. The chiroptical property of chiral plasmonic nanomaterials is enhanced through localized surface plasmon resonance effects, which exhibits distinctive circular dichroism (CD) response across a wide wavelength range. Recently, 3D chiral plasmonic nanomaterials are becoming a focal research point due to their unique characteristics and planar-independence. This review provides an overview of recent progresses in 3D chiral plasmonic nanomaterials studies. It begins by discussing the mechanisms of plasmonic enhancement of molecular CD response, following by a detailed presentation of novel classifications of 3D chiral plasmonic nanomaterials. Finally, the applications of 3D chiral nanomaterials such as biology, sensing, chiral catalysis, photology, and other fields have been discussed and prospected. It is hoped that this review will contribute to the flourishing development of 3D chiral nanomaterials.

Abstract
The adhesion modes of an ensemble of spherical Janus nanoparticles on planar membranes are investigated through large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of a coarse-grained implicit-solvent model. We found that the Janus nanoparticles adhering to planar membranes exhibit a rich phase behavior that depends on their adhesion energy density and areal number density. In particular, effective repulsive membrane-curvature-mediated interactions between the Janus nanoparticles lead to their self-assembly into an ordered hexagonal superlattice at intermediate densities and intermediate to high adhesion energy density, with a lattice constant determined by their areal density. The melting behavior of the hexagonal superlattice proceeds through a two-stage melting scenario in agreement with the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young classical theory of two-dimensional melting.

Abstract
Since many advanced applications require specific assemblies of nanoparticles (NPs), considerable efforts have been made to fabricate nanoassemblies with specific geometries. Although nanoassemblies can be fabricated through top-down approaches, recent advances show that intricate nanoassemblies can also be obtained through self-assembly, mediated for example by DNA strands. Here, we show, through extensive molecular dynamics simulations, that highly ordered self-assemblies of NPs can be mediated by their adhesion to lipid vesicles (LVs). Specifically, Janus NPs are considered so that the amount by which they are wrapped by the LV is controlled. The specific geometry of the nanoassembly is the result of effective curvature-mediated repulsion between the NPs and the number of NPs adhering to the LV. The NPs are arranged on the LV into polyhedra which satisfy the upper limit of Euler's polyhedral formula, including several deltahedra and three Platonic solids, corresponding to the tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron.

Abstract
The significant advances in synthesis and functionalization have enabled the preparation of high-quality nanoparticles that have found a plethora of successful applications. The unique physicochemical properties of nanoparticles can be manipulated through the control of size, shape, composition, and surface chemistry, but their technological application possibilities can be further expanded by exploiting the properties that emerge from their assembly. The ability to control the assembly of nanoparticles not only is required for many real technological applications, but allows the combination of the intrinsic properties of nanoparticles and opens the way to the exploitation of their complex interplay, giving access to collective properties. Significant advances and knowledge gained over the past few decades on nanoparticle assembly have made it possible to implement a growing number of strategies for reversible assembly of nanoparticles. In addition to being of interest for basic studies, such advances further broaden the range of applications and the possibility of developing innovative devices using nanoparticles. This review focuses on the reversible assembly of nanoparticles and includes the theoretical aspects related to the concept of reversibility, an up-to-date assessment of the experimental approaches applied to this field and the advanced computational schemes that offer key insights into the assembly mechanisms. We aim to provide readers with a comprehensive guide to address the challenges in assembling reversible nanoparticles and promote their applications.

Abstract
According to their high electron density and ultrasmall size, gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have unique luminescence and photoelectrochemical properties that make them very attractive for various biomedical fields. These applications require a clear understanding of their interaction with biological membranes. Here we demonstrate the ability of the AuNCs as markers for lipidic bilayer structures such as synthetic liposomes and biological extracellular vesicles (EVs). The AuNCs can selectively interact with liposomes or EVs through an attractive electrostatic interaction as demonstrated by zetametry and fluorescence microscopy. According to the ratio of nanoclusters to vesicles, the lipidic membranes can be fluorescently labeled without altering their thickness until charge reversion, the AuNCs being located at the level of the phosphate headgroups. In presence of an excess of AuNCs, the vesicles tend to adhere and aggregate. The strong adsorption of AuNCs results in the formation of a lamellar phase as demonstrated by cryo-transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques.

Abstract
The integration of bioactive materials (e.g., proteins and genes) into nanoparticles holds promise in fields ranging from catalysis to biomedicine. However, it is challenging to develop a simple and broadly applicable nanoparticle platform that can readily incorporate distinct biomacromolecules without affecting their intrinsic activity. Herein, a metal-phenolic assembly approach is presented whereby diverse functional nanoparticles can be readily assembled in water by combining various synthetic and natural building blocks, including poly(ethylene glycol), phenolic ligands, metal ions, and bioactive macromolecules. The assembly process is primarily mediated by metal-phenolic complexes through coordination and hydrophobic interactions, which yields uniform and spherical nanoparticles (mostly <200 nm), while preserving the function of the incorporated biomacromolecules (siRNA and five different proteins used). The functionality of the assembled nanoparticles is demonstrated through cancer cell apoptosis, RNA degradation, catalysis, and gene downregulation studies. Furthermore, the resulting nanoparticles can be used as building blocks for the secondary engineering of superstructures via templating and cross-linking with metal ions. The bioactivity and versatility of the platform can potentially be used for the streamlined and rational design of future bioactive materials.

Abstract
Self-assembly in nature creates matter with complex structures and unpredictable designs; disordered building blocks spontaneously organize into ordered structures to achieve specific functions. Self-assembly begins to play an important role in the design of advanced drug delivery as well. Though, the behavior of 'dynamic nanoassembly-based drug delivery systems' (DNDDS) in biological media and cells remains poorly understood, while this is highly critical for controlling spatiotemporal drug release from DNDDS in vivo. To deepen the understanding of tailor-made DNDDS, this contribution in the Oration - New Horizons section of the Journal of controlled Release aims to highlight nature-inspired designs, construction principles, and controllable functionalities of DNDDS and how they are triggered by endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Furthermore, biomedical applications of tailor-made DNDDS for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment of diseases, including tumors, neurological diseases, injuries and infections are discussed. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives of DNDDS are briefly outlined.

Abstract
For the bottom-up approach where functional materials are constructed out of nanoscale building blocks (e.g., nanoparticles), it is essential to have methods that are capable of placing the individual nanoscale building blocks onto exact substrate positions on a large scale and on a large area. One of the promising placement methods is the self-limiting single-particle placement (SPP), in which a single nanoparticle in a colloidal solution is electrostatically guided by electrostatic templates and exactly one single nanoparticle is placed on each target position in a self-limiting way. This paper presents a numerical study on SPP, where the effects of three key parameters, (1) ionic strength (IS), (2) nanoparticle surface charge density (σNP), and (3) circular template diameter (d), on SPP are investigated. For 40 different parameter sets of (IS, σNP, d), a 30 nm nanoparticle positioned at R⃗ above the substrate was modeled in two configurations (i) without and (ii) with the presence of a 30 nm nanoparticle at the center of a circular template. For each parameter set and each configuration, the electrostatic potentials were calculated by numerically solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, from which interaction forces and interaction free energies were subsequently calculated. These have identified realms of parameter sets that enable a successful SPP. A few exemplary parameter sets include (IS, σNP, d) = (0.5 mM, -1.5 μC/cm2, 100 nm), (0.05 mM, -0.5 μC/cm2, 100 nm), (0.5 mM, -1.5 μC/cm2, 150 nm), and (0.05 mM, -0.8 μC/cm2, 150 nm). This study provides clear guidance toward experimental realizations of large-scale and large-area SPPs, which could lead to bottom-up fabrications of novel electronic, photonic, plasmonic, and spintronic devices and sensors.

Abstract
Colloidal patchy particles are particles with anisotropic "patches" decorating their surfaces. Several properties of these patches including their size, number, location, and interactions provide control over self-assembly of patchy particles into structures with desired properties. We report on simulation studies of particles where patches take the form of lobes. Based on the number and locations of lobes, these particles have different shapes (trigonal planar, square planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral). We investigated the effect of incorporating charges on the lobes in achieving porous self-assembled morphologies across a range of temperatures. We observed that an increase in the charge on the lobe resulted in lobed particles assembling over a wider range of temperatures. We also observed that the lobed particles with charges self-assembled into structures with enhanced porosity in comparison to lobed particles without charges.

Abstract
Innovations in surfactant structures are a feasible way to prepare unique molecular aggregates with interesting properties. Herein, taking dehydroabietic acid as the starting material, a new amine oxide surfactant, abbreviated as R-8-AO, was synthesized. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) images and circular dichroism (CD) spectra reveal that at suitable concentrations, R-8-AO molecules form rarely discovered right-handed chiral wormlike micelles, which have a cross-sectional diameter of 5-6 nm. The overlap concentration of R-8-AO is approximately 8 mM, above which the wormlike micelles began to entangle in solutions. Due to the strong van der Waals forces between R-8-AO molecules, the scaling law gives an exponent of 7.88, which is higher than the theory predicted value. Gold nanoparticles were synthesized in-situ by irradiating mixed solutions of HAuCl4 and wormlike micelles formed by R-8-AO with UV light. These ultrasmall spherical gold nanoparticles, which are located at the surface of wormlike micelles, have a uniform particle size of 3 ± 1 nm, as observed by TEM. In addition, the gold nanoparticles form a worm-like morphology induced by the wormlike micelles, showing soft-aggregate-directed nanoparticle assembly. This work is first to reveal the effectiveness of preparing ultrasmall gold nanoparticles with new morphological wormlike micelles as soft templates. The resulting organic-inorganic hybrid aggregates are also expected to find applications in catalysis and electronic fields.

Abstract
Chirality is a basic property of nature and has great importance in photonics, biochemistry, medicine, and catalysis. This importance has led to the emergence of the chiral inorganic nanostructure field in the last two decades, providing opportunities to control the chirality of light and biochemical reactions. While the facile production of 3D nanostructures has remained a major challenge, recent advances in nanocrystal synthesis have provided a new pathway for efficient control of chirality at the nanoscale by transferring molecular chirality to the geometry of nanocrystals. Interestingly, this discovery stems from a purely crystallographic outcome: chirality can be generated on high-Miller-index surfaces, even for highly symmetric metal crystals. This is the starting point herein, with an overview of the scientific history and a summary of the crystallographic definition. With the advance of nanomaterial synthesis technology, high-Miller-index planes can be selectively exposed on metallic nanoparticles. The enantioselective interaction of chiral molecules and high-Miller-index facets can break the mirror symmetry of the metal nanocrystals. Herein, the fundamental principle of chirality evolution is emphasized and it is shown how chiral surfaces can be directly correlated with chiral morphologies, thus serving as a guide for researchers in chiral catalysts, chiral plasmonics, chiral metamaterials, and photonic devices.

Abstract
Abstract
Despite desirable progress in various assembly tactics, the main drawback associated with current assemblies is the weak interparticle connections limited by their assembling protocols. Herein, we report a novel boron doping-induced interconnection-assembly approach for fabricating an unprecedented assembly of mesoporous silicon oxycarbide nanospheres, which are derived from periodic mesoporous organosilicas. The as-prepared architecture is composed of interconnected, strongly coupled nanospheres with coarse surfaces. Significantly, through delicate analysis of the as-formed boron doped species, a novel melt-etching and nucleation-growth mechanism is proposed, which offers a new horizon for the developing interconnected assembling technique. Furthermore, such unique strategy shows precise controllability and versatility, endowing the architecture with tunable interconnection size, surface roughness and switchable primary nanoparticles. Impressively, this interconnected assembly along with tunable surface roughness enables intrinsically dual (both structural and interfacial) stable characteristics, achieving extraordinary long-term cycle life when used as a lithium-ion battery anode.

Abstract
By using complementary DNA sequences as surface ligands, we selectively allow two individual diffusing "dual-color" carbon dots to interact in situ and in vitro. Spontaneous nanoscale oxidation of surface-abundant nitroso-/nitro-functionalities leads to two distinctly colored carbon dots (CD) which are isolated by polarity driven chromatographic separation. Green- and red-emitting carbon dots (gCD and rCD) were decorated by complementary single-stranded DNAs which produce a marked increase in the fluorescence emission of the respective carbon dots. Mutual colloidal interactions are achieved through hybridization of complementary DNA base pairs attached to the respective particles, resulting in quenching of their photoluminescence. The observed post-hybridization quenching is presumably due to a combined effect from an aggregation of CDs post duplex DNA formation and close proximity of multicolored CDs, having overlapped spectral regions leading to a nonradiative energy transfer process possibly released as heat. This strategy may contribute to the rational design of mutually interacting carbon dots for a better control over the resulting assembly structure for studying different biological phenomenon including molecular cytogenetics. One of the newly synthesized CDs was successfully used to image intracellular location of GAPDH mRNA using an event of change in fluorescence intensity (FI) of CDs. This selectivity was introduced by conjugating an oligonucleotide harboring complementary sequence to GAPDH mRNA. FI of this conjugated carbon dot, rCD-GAPDH, was also found to decrease in the presence of Ca2+, varied in relation to H+ concentrations, and could serve as a tool to quantify the intracellular concentrations of Ca2+ and pH value (H+) which can give important information about cell survival. Therefore, CD-oligonucleotide conjugates could serve as efficient probes for cellular events and interventions.

Abstract
Hybrid nanostructures are constructed by the direct coupling of fluorescent quantum dots and plasmonic gold nanoparticles. Self-assembly is directed by the strong affinity between two artificial α-repeat proteins that are introduced in the capping layers of the nanoparticles at a controlled surface density. The proteins have been engineered to exhibit a high mutual affinity, corresponding to a dissociation constant in the nanomolar range, towards the protein-functionalized quantum dots and gold nanoparticles. Protein-mediated self-assembly is evidenced by surface plasmon resonance and gel electrophoresis. The size and the structure of colloidal superstructures of complementary nanoparticles are analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering. The size of the superstructures is determined by the number of proteins per nanoparticle. The well-defined geometry of the rigid protein complex sets a highly uniform interparticle distance of 8 nm that affects the emission properties of the quantum dots in the hybrid ensembles. Our results open the route to the design of hybrid emitter-plasmon colloidal assemblies with controlled near-field coupling and better optical response.

Abstract
Interfacing organic or inorganic nanoparticles with biological entities or molecules or systems with the aim of developing functionalized nano-scale materials or composites for remediation of persistent organic hydrocarbon pollutants (such as monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, MAH/PAH) has generated great interest and continues to grow almost unabated. However, the usefulness and potency of these materials or conjugates hinges over several key barriers, including structural assembly with fine-tuned control over nanoparticle/biomolecule ratio, spatial orientation and activity of biomolecules, the nano/bio-interface strategy and hierarchical architecture, water-dispersibility and long term colloidal stability in environmental media, and non-specific toxicity. The present review thus critically analyses, discusses and interprets recently reported attempts and approaches to functionalize nanoparticles with biomolecules. Since there is no comprehensive and critical reviews on the applications of nanotechnology in bioremediation of MAHs/PAHs, this overview essentially captures the current global scenario and vision on the use and future prospects of biofunctionalized nanomaterials with respect to their strategic interactions involved at the nano/bio-interface essential to understand and decipher the structural and functional relationships and their impact on persistent hydrocarbon remediation.

Abstract
Age-related diseases (ARDs) are arising as a major threat to public health in our fast-aging society. Current development of nanomedicine has sparked much optimism toward ARDs management by improving drug delivery and controlled drug release. However, effective treatments for ARDs, such as cancer and Alzheimer's diseases (AD), are still lacking, due to the complicated pathological features of ARDs including multifactorial pathogenesis, intricate disease microenvironment, and dynamic symptom manifestation. Recently, dynamic supraparticles (DS), which are reversibly self-assembled functional nanoparticles, have provided a novel strategy for combating ARDs. Besides the intrinsic advantages of nanomedicine including multifunctional and multitarget, DS are capable of dynamic structural reconfiguration upon certain stimulation, creating another layer of maneuverability that allows programmed response to the spatiotemporal alterations of ARDs during progression and treatment. In this review, we will overview the challenges faced by ARDs management, and discuss the unique opportunities brought by DS. Then, we will summarize the designed synthesis of DS for ARDs treatment. Finally, we will dissect the therapeutic targets in ARDs that can be exploited by DS, and present the encouraging advances in this field. Hopefully, this review will bridge our knowledge of the design principle of DS and ARDs management, which may inspire the future development of potent theranostic agents to improve the healthcare.

Abstract
Halogen bonding (XB) has been shown to be a powerful tool for promoting molecular self-assembly in different fields. The use of XB for noncovalent assembly of inorganic nanoparticles (NP) is, instead, quite limited, considering how extensively other interactions (i.e., electrostatic forces, hydrophobic effect, hydrogen bonding, etc.) have been exploited to modulate and program NP self-assembly. Here, we designed and synthesized XB-capable organic ligands that were efficiently used to functionalize the surface of gold NPs (AuNPs). XB-assisted AuNP self-assembly was attained in solution mixing AuNPs bearing XB-donor ligands with ditopic XB-acceptor molecules and AuNPs functionalized with XB-acceptor moieties. Likewise, a preliminary study of XB-driven adsorption of these AuNPs on surface was performed via Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring (QCM-D), used as an in situ tool for measuring mass changes upon XB-driven self-assembly.

Abstract
Natural biocomposites are shaped by proteins that have evolved to interact with inorganic materials. Protein directed evolution methods which mimic Darwinian evolution have proven highly successful to generate improved enzymes or therapeutic antibodies but have rarely been used to evolve protein-material interactions. Indeed, most reported studies have focused on short peptides and a wide range of oligopeptides with chemical binding affinity for inorganic materials have been uncovered by phage display methods. However, their small size and flexible unfolded structure prevent them from dictating the shape and crystallinity of the growing material. In the present work, a specific set of artificial repeat proteins (αRep), which exhibit highly stable 3D folding with a well-defined hypervariable interacting surface, is selected by directed evolution of a very efficient home-built protein library for their high and selective affinity for the Au(111) surface. The proteins are built from the extendable concatenation of self-compatible repeated motifs idealized from natural HEAT proteins. The high-yield synthesis of Au(111)-faceted nanostructures mediated by these αRep proteins demonstrates their chemical affinity and structural selectivity that endow them with high crystal habit modification performances. Importantly, we further exploit the protein shell spontaneously assembled on the nanocrystal facets to drive protein-mediated colloidal self-assembly and on-surface enzymatic catalysis. Our method constitutes a generic tool for producing nanocrystals with determined faceting, superior biocompatibility and versatile bio-functionalization towards plasmon-based devices and (bio)molecular sensors.

Abstract
Plasmon-polaritons are among the most promising candidates for next-generation optical sensors due to their ability to support extremely confined electromagnetic fields and empower strong coupling of light and matter. Here we propose quantum plasmonic immunoassay sensing as an innovative scheme, which embeds immunoassay sensing with recently demonstrated room-temperature strong coupling in nanoplasmonic cavities. In our protocol, the antibody-antigen-antibody complex is chemically linked with a quantum emitter label. Placing the quantum-emitter-enhanced antibody-antigen-antibody complexes inside or close to a nanoplasmonic (hemisphere dimer) cavity facilitates strong coupling between the plasmon-polaritons and the emitter label resulting in signature Rabi splitting. Through rigorous statistical analysis of multiple analytes randomly distributed on the substrate in extensive realistic computational experiments, we demonstrate a drastic enhancement of the sensitivity up to nearly 1500% compared to conventional shifting-type plasmonic sensors. Most importantly and in stark contrast to classical sensing, we achieve in the strong-coupling (quantum) sensing regime an enhanced sensitivity that is no longer dependent on the concentration of antibody-antigen-antibody complexes down to the single-analyte limit. The quantum plasmonic immunoassay scheme thus not only leads to the development of plasmonic biosensing for single molecules but also opens up new pathways toward room-temperature quantum sensing enabled by biomolecular inspired protocols linked with quantum nanoplasmonics.

Abstract
Engineered scaffold affinity proteins are used in many biological applications with the aim of replacing natural antibodies. Although their very small sizes are beneficial for multivalent nanoparticle conjugation and efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), the application of engineered affinity proteins in such nanobiosensing formats has been largely neglected. Here, it is shown that very small (≈6.5 kDa) histidine-tagged albumin-binding domain-derived affinity proteins (ADAPTs) can efficiently self-assemble to zwitterionic ligand-coated quantum dots (QDs). These ADAPT-QD conjugates are significantly smaller than QD-conjugates based on IgG, Fab', or single-domain antibodies. Immediate applicability by the quantification of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in serum-containing samples using time-gated Tb-to-QD FRET detection on the clinical benchtop immunoassay analyzer KRYPTOR is demonstrated here. Limits of detection down to 40 × 10-12 m (≈8 ng mL-1 ) are in a relevant clinical concentration range and outperform previously tested assays with antibodies, antibody fragments, and nanobodies.

Abstract
A limiting factor of solvent‐induced nanoparticle self‐assembly is the need for constant sample dilution in assembly/disassembly cycles. Changes in the nanoparticle concentration alter the kinetics of the subsequent assembly process, limiting optical signal recovery. Herein, we show that upon confining hydrophobic nanoparticles in permeable silica nanocapsules, the number of nanoparticles participating in cyclic aggregation remains constant despite bulk changes in solution, leading to highly reproducible plasmon band shifts at different solvent compositions.

Abstract
The ability to form complex 3D architectures using nanoparticles (NPs) as the building blocks and complex macromolecules that direct these assemblies remains a challenging objective for nanotechnology. Here we report results in which the partial substitution of classical Turkevich citrate-capped gold NPs by a novel, heteroaromatic ligand (L) results in NPs able to form coordination-driven assemblies mediated by free or protein-bound iron ions. The morphology of these assemblies can be tuned depending on the source of iron. To prove the concept, classical citrate and novel NPs were reacted with iron-containing protein hemoglobin (Hb). To diminish the influence of possible electrostatic interactions of native Hb and gold NPs, the reaction was performed at the isoelectric point of Hb. Moreover, thiol groups of Hb were protected with p-quinone to exclude thiol–gold bond formation. As expected, citrate-capped gold NPs are well dispersed in functionalized Hb, while L-functionalized NPs form assemblies. The blue shift of the Soret band of the functionalized Hb, when reacted with novel NPs, unambiguously confirms the coordination of a NP-anchored heteroaromatic ligand with the heme moiety of Hb. Coarse-grained molecular dynamics of this system were performed to gain information about aggregation dynamics and kinetics of iron- and hemoglobin-templated assemblies of L–NPs. A multi-scale simulation approach was employed to extend this model to longer time scales. The application of this model towards novel coordination-based assemblies can become a powerful tool for the development of new nanomaterials. The ability to form complex 3D architectures using nanoparticles as the building blocks and complex macromolecules that direct these assemblies remains a challenging objective for nanotechnology.![]()

Abstract
Although dissipative self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature, where it gives rise to structures and functions critical to life, examples of artificial systems featuring this mode of self-assembly are rare. Here, we identify the presence of ephemeral assemblies during seeded growth of gold nanoparticles. In this process, hydrazine reduces Au(III) ions, which attach to the existing nanoparticles "seeds". The attachment is accompanied by a local increase in the concentration of a surfactant, which therefore forms a bilayer on nanoparticle surfaces, inducing their assembly. The resulting aggregates gradually disassemble as the surfactant concentration throughout the solution equilibrates. The lifetimes of the out-of-equilibrium aggregates depend on and can be controlled by the size of the constituent nanoparticles. We demonstrate the utility of our out-of-equilibrium aggregates to form transient reflective coatings on polar surfaces.

Abstract
Self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) forming unique structures has been investigated extensively over the past few years. However, many self-assembled structures by NPs are irreversible, because they are generally constructed using their suspensions. It is still challenging for NPs to reversibly self-assemble in dry state, let alone of polymeric NPs with general sizes of hundreds of nm. Herein, this study reports a new reversible self-assembly phenomenon of NPs in dry state, forming thermoreversible strip-like supermolecular structures. These novel NPs of around 150 nm are perfluorinated surface-undecenoated cellulose nanoparticles (FSU-CNPs) with a core-coronas structure. The thermoreversible self-assembled structure is formed after drying in the air at the interface between FSU-CNP films and Teflon substrates. Remarkably, the formation and dissociation of this assembled structure are accompanied by a reversible conversion of the surface hydrophobicity, film transparency, and anisotropic properties. These findings show novel feasibility of reversible self-assembly of NPs in dry state, and thereby expand our knowledge of self-assembly phenomenon.

Abstract
Reversible self-assembly of nanoparticles into ordered structures is essential for both fundamental study and practical applications. Although extensive work has been conducted, the demand for simple, cheap, reversible, and versatile ordering methods is still a central issue in current nanoscience and nanotechnology. Here we report a reversible and precise self-assembly of nanoparticles through a linker-free and fast approach by manipulating the interparticle forces, e.g., van der Waals (VDW) force and electrostatic force. Because VDW force is nondirectional, an oriented interaction is achieved to induce the directional binding of nanoparticles utilizing the Janus nanostructure. An effective sol-gel approach has been developed to synthesize metal-organosilica Janus nanoparticles. Dimers and trimers can be obtained by tuning the steric hindrance. After assembly, "hot-spots" can be generated between adjacent nanoparticles, and dramatic enhancement has been observed in surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The present strategy overcomes several limitations of existing approaches and allows the controlled assembly of small particles into various structures.

Abstract
Protein-polymer conjugates are of particular interest for nanobiotechnology applications because of the various and complementary roles that each component may play in composite hybrid-materials. This chapter focuses on the design principles and applications of self-assembling protein-polymer conjugate materials. We address the general design methodology, from both synthetic and genetic perspective, conjugation strategies, protein vs. polymer driven self-assembly and finally, emerging applications for conjugate materials. By marrying proteins and polymers into conjugated bio-hybrid materials, materials scientists, chemists, and biologists alike, have at their fingertips a vast toolkit for material design. These inherently hierarchical structures give rise to useful patterning, mechanical and transport properties that may help realize new, more efficient materials for energy generation, catalysis, nanorobots, etc.
