Self-limited stacking of non-Euclidean colloidal shells: From saddles to caps

The presence of geometric frustration in self-assemblies, stemming from a shape misfit between identical subunits, can lead to the spontaneous formation of finite-sized structures known as self-limitation. Recently proposed models of curved, colloidal shells, dubbed"curvamers", that form one-dimensional stacks have sho...
