Abstract

In article number 1605223, Fengyu Li, Yanlin Song, and co‐workers demonstrate a swarm‐intelligence‐inspired spontaneous process to assemble nanoparticles into an optimal interconnect between certain nodes on various substrates. The optimal interconnect leads to a 65.9% decrease in electromagnetic interference, a 17.1% decrease in delay, and a 24.5% decrease in energy‐delay.
