Crystallization of mesoscale particles by a simple and general methodology is reported here. The versatility of this method is demonstrated by the production of monolayers, bilayers, and multilayers of polystyrene beads (see the scanning electron micrograph shown in the Figure). The method is useful, for example, for the fabrication of new sensor types or photonic bandgap structures.
