Colloidal gold nanorods, iridescent beetles and breath figure templated assembly of ordered array of pores in polymer films

Water drops that nucleate and grow over an evaporating polymer solution exposed to a current of moist air remain noncoalescent and self-assemble into close packed arrays. The hexagonally close packed, nearly monodisperse drops, eventually evaporate away, leaving a polymer film, with ordered array of...
