Recent research from Utrecht University has quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles, which are composed of numerous smaller colloidal particles.
The findings indicate that while these supraparticles may appear disordered externally, they can contain nearly perfect crystalline structures internally.
This research has significant implications for materials science and photonics, particularly in understanding the architecture and potential applications of these complex materials.
