The ability to prepare colloidal inorganic nanocrystals of simple shapes, such as spheres, rods, and disks, is now well established. This talk will describe work to create nanocrystals with more complex shapes, such as hollow and nested, segmented and branched arrangements. These new, more complex nanocrystals exhibit more complex materials properties, expanding the potential range of application of colloidal nanocrystals.
