Classical nucleation and crystal growth theories describe how nuclei form, become stable
after reaching a critical size and then enlarge through monomer attachment. More than two …

Programming the organization of discrete building blocks into periodic and quasi-periodic
arrays is challenging. Methods for organizing materials are particularly important at the …

The conception, synthesis, and invention of a nanostructure, now known as the spherical
nucleic acid, or SNA, in 1996 marked the advent of a new field of chemistry. Over the past …

In this work, we show how the kinetics of molecular self-assembly can be coupled with the
kinetics of the colloidal self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles, which in turn drives the …

While the primary use of protein crystals has historically been in crystallographic structure
determination, they have recently emerged as promising materials with many advantageous …

High-precision nanomaterials to entrap DNA-binding molecules are sought after for
applications such as controlled drug delivery and scaffold-assisted structural biology. Here …

Achieving precise and controllable hierarchical self-assembly of functional nanoclusters
within crystal lattices to create distinct architectures is of immense significance, yet it creates …

Inspired by nature, modern nanotechnology has enabled the bottom-up construction of
molecular machines and nanorobots using two different biomolecular building blocks, DNAs …

Self-assembled DNA crystals offer a precise chemical platform at the ångström-scale for
DNA nanotechnology, holding enormous potential in material separation, catalysis, and …

In nature, the interactions between proteins and their complements/substrates can dictate
complex functions. Herein, we explore how DNA on nucleic acid modified proteins can be …
