Now that we can create nanoparticles in a wide variety of shapes and morphologies, comes the next challenge: finding ways to organize this collection of particles into larger and more complex systems. \u003cstrong\u003eNanoparticle Assemblies and Superstructures\u003c\/strong\u003e, edited by pioneer of nanoparticle self-organization Nicholas A.

The first section of this comprehensive volume provides background through an assessment of the current status of nanoparticle assembly development and the requirements for different applications of organized nanomaterials. The middle chapters explore the changes that occur in various properties of individual particles when they are brought together to form agglomerates and simple assemblies. In the final section, a number of top scientists describe various methods for organizing particles in complex nanostructured superstructures. These include techniques involving biological ligands and force fields, as well as methods based on self-organization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis remarkably prescient text upholds Kotov's belief that the research on organization of nanoparticles and other nanostructures, will most certainly uncover a wealth of \"interesting discoveries and surprising phenomena.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicholas A.
