Achieving self‐assembling/self‐organizing systems is the holy grail of nanotechnology, as presented in the Feature Article by J. L. MacManus‐Driscoll on page 2035. Multifunctionality or enhanced functionality can emerge as a result of self‐assembly of two oxides in nano‐composite films. Checkerboards, ordered nanochains, nanorods, or random nanoparticle structures are all possible structures and they...
Achieving self‐assembling/self‐organizing systems is the holy grail of nanotechnology. Spontaneous organization is not unique to the physical sciences since nature has been producing such systems for millions of years. In biological systems global patterns emerge from numerous interactions among lower‐level components of the system. The same is true for physical systems. In this review, the self‐assembly...
