Abstract: | This Communication describes a new strategy for the design of adaptive structures based on reconfigurable mesoscale self-assembly. Several sets of millimeter-scale objects have been designed that can self-assemble into two different, regular aggregates at the interface between an aqueous solution and perfluorodecalin; the choice between the two aggregates is determined by the density of the aqueous phase. |
