Abstract

Macroscopic material properties are ultimately determined by the microstructural arrangement of building blocks. Bottom-up material fabrication routes exploit this central dogma by reverse-engineering the required building blocks from a targeted structure or property. Despite the plethora of available building blocks, bridging the gap between the microscopic and macroscopic world remains a formidable task. Recently, Macfarlane and co-workers approached this challenge by developing sintering-inspired processing strategies for nanoparticles, allowing the production of centimeter-scale objects while maintaining order on a single-particle level.
