      abstract     = {In this combined talk, first a comprehensive library of
                      nanopatterns derived from a single block copolymer (BCP)
                      exhibit wide range of structures from simple spheres to more
                      intricate forms, including split micelles, flower-like
                      clusters, toroids, disordered arrays, and other unique
                      morphologies [1]. Using polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine)
                      (PS-b-P2VP) surface micelles deposited on SiOx surfaces, a
                      distinctive transformation in morphology is triggered by
                      direct immersion in various solvents. By varying the solvent
                      type, BCP molecular weight, substrate interactions, and
                      temperature, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters are
                      also affected by these driving morphological transitions.
                      Furthermore, the work highlights the practical utility of
                      BCP nanopatterns as templates for fabricating metal
                      nanostructures via direct solvent immersion. This method
                      provides a versatile and efficient strategy for producing
                      diverse nanostructures, with potential applications in the
                      fields of nanolithography, catalysis, electronics,
                      membranes, plasmonics, and photonics. Secondly, the protein
                      crystallization (kinetics) and liquid−liquid phase
                      separation (LLPS) are to be presented, showing the effective
                      protein (lysozyme)-salt (NaSCN) binding in the phase
                      diagram, with distinct crystal morphologies, by single- and
                      multi-arm crystals, flower-like crystal structures,
                      whiskers, and sea-urchin crystals [2]. Crystal morphologies
                      exhibit significant variations in changes in protein and
                      salt concentrations. Moreover, the adsorption of SCN− ions
                      to the surface of lysozyme is effectively enhanced by
                      applying the weak AC electric field in protein
                      crystallization processes.Reference:[1] Seokyoung Bae, Dong
