Figure 1. Schematic depicting the nanofabrication limitation being addressed.

Figure 1

(a) Nanofabrication has progressed sufficiently so that it is possible to create curved and polyhedral nanostructures with a variety of geometries, but with limited or no surface patterning. (b) We show that surface forces can be used to curve, rotate, align and bond panels so that any desired patterns can be incorporated onto the surfaces of curved and polyhedral nanostructures.
