Nanoparticle assembly is an ideal means to synthesize materials with controlled structures on the 10-100nm length scale, but such methods typically produce 3D structures that are just a few microns in diameter, or nominally 2D films of nanometer to micron thicknesses. In this talk we will demonstrate a method of synthesizing gram-scale quantities of nanoparticle superlattices that can be processed into free-standing cm-scale 3D objects of arbitrary shape. This method allows for complete structure control across 10^7 length scales, including atomic and molecular composition, nanoscale ordering, microstructure, and macroscopic form.
