Abstract Many butterflies, birds, beetles, and chameleons owe their spectacular colors to the microscopic patterns within wings, feathers, or skin. When these patterns, photonic crystals, result in omnidirectional reflection of commensurate wavelengths light, it is due a complete band gap (PBG). The number natural crystal structures known have PBG relatively small, those even smaller subset notoriety, including diamond inverse opal, proven difficult synthesize. Here, we report more than...
Significance Understanding how structural order forms in matter is a key challenge designing materials. In the 1920s, Pauling proposed packing as mechanism for driving based on observed correlations between structure of crystals and mathematical hard spheres. We study ordering several systems colloids which correlates with find, surprisingly, that cannot arise from packing. Our approach provides statistical mechanics approaches investigating mathematics raises questions about role determining matter.
Abstract Why are materials with specific characteristics more abundant than others? This is a fundamental question in science and one that traditionally difficult to tackle, given the vastness of compositional configurational space. We highlight here anomalous abundance inorganic compounds whose primitive unit cell contains number atoms multiple four. occurrence—named rule four —has our knowledge not previously been reported or studied. Here, we first rule’s existence, especially notable...
Abstract Data analyses based on linear methods constitute the simplest, most robust, and transparent approaches to automatic processing of large amounts data for building supervised or unsupervised machine learning models. Principal covariates regression (PCovR) is an underappreciated method that interpolates between principal component analysis can be used conveniently reveal structure-property relations in terms simple-to-interpret, low-dimensional maps. Here we provide a pedagogic...
Abstract Selecting the most relevant features and samples out of a large set candidates is task that occurs very often in context automated data analysis, where it improves computational performance transferability model. Here we focus on two popular subselection schemes applied to this end: CUR decomposition, derived from low-rank approximation feature matrix, farthest point sampling (FPS), which relies iterative identification diverse discriminating features. We modify these unsupervised...
The number of materials or molecules that can be created by combining different chemical elements in various proportions and spatial arrangements is enormous.Computational chemistry used to generate databases containing billions potential structures (Ruddigkeit, Deursen, Blum, & Reymond, 2012), predict some the associated properties (Montavon et al., 2013;Ramakrishnan, Dral, Rupp, Lilienfeld, 2014).Unfortunately, very large makes exploring such database -to understand structureproperty...
Due to the subtle balance of molecular interactions, predicting stability crystals is a non-trivial scientific problem. Physically-motivated machine learning models can not only “rediscover” maxims crystal engineering, but also guide design.

Despite the prevalence of polymers in modern everyday life, there is little introduction to topic science education throughout primary or secondary schooling United States. Of few states that do include polymer education, this only found at high school level, primarily biology chemistry. Over past year, we have developed a graduate-student-run outreach initiative aimed providing young students with an understanding and appreciation class materials through interactive teaching...

Photonic crystals, appealing for their ability to control light, are constructed from periodic regions of different dielectric constants. Yet, the structural holy grail in photonic materials, diamond, remains challenging synthesize at colloidal length scale. Here we explore new ways assemble diamond using modified gyrobifastigial (mGBF) nanoparticles, a shape that resembles two anti-aligned triangular prisms. We investigate parameter space leads self-assembly and compare likelihood defects...
