About this collection
We are delighted to share with you a selection of the papers which will be presented at our Faraday Discussion on Nanoparticles with Morphological and Functional Anisotropy taking place in Glasgow, UK in July 2016. More information about the event may be found here: http://rsc.li/anisotropy-fd2016. Additional articles will be added to the collection as they are published. The final versions of all the articles presented and record of the live discussions will be published after the event.
Anisotropy at the nanoscale is a critical factor in the mechanical, optical, electronic, and magnetic properties of nanoparticles, with many unusual properties of colloidal materials arising from heterogeneous spatial confinement of electrons, plasmons and electric fields around the particles. Designing nanoscale objects, which incorporate multiple functionalities, and with directionality, holds great promise for biomolecule detection, and in medicine. This Faraday Discussion presents developments in this exciting field from across chemistry, physics, engineering and beyond.
