Describes hierarchical assemblies in biology and biological processes that occur at the nanoscale across membranes and at interfaces. Covers recurrent themes in nanocolloid science, including self-assembly, construction of supramolecular architecture, nanoconfinement and compartmentalization, measurement and control of interfacial forces, novel
synthetic materials, and computer simulation.
