Patterning of colloidal particles in precisely organized architectures has attracted intense research interest for decades. This is due to their potential applications in flexible electronics, magnetic and optical devices, sensors, biotechnology, communications, etc. However, creation of mesoscale assemblies at commercial scales have received less attention. The mesoscale systems reside between the micro- and macroscopic scales, with length dimensions from ≈ 100 µm to 5 mm. By leveraging decades of experimental and theoretical research in nanomaterial fields, we were able to precisely create and control the placement of nanoscale materials, allowing us to create mesoscale materials. We developed a versatile and automatic mesoscale patterning technology (via SEM-FIB and 3D printing) that provides precise and consistent control and special arrangement of functional nanomaterials. The versatility of the strategy is demonstrated by patterning nanoparticles with different dimensions, shapes and compositions, tethered with various functionalities and subjected to different external stimuli.
