The predictable nature of DNA interactions enables the programmable assembly of highly
advanced 2D and 3D DNA structures of nanoscale dimensions. The access to ever larger …

This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

In recent years, DNA-based biosensors have shown great potential as the candidate of the
next generation biomedical detection device due to their robust chemical properties and …

DNA is not just the stuff of our genetic code; it is also a means to design self-assembling
materials. Grafting DNA onto nano-and microparticles can, in principle,'program'them with …

DNA is one of the most fascinating biopolymers. Besides its central role as carrier of genetic
information and translation of the genetic code into proteins, DNA holds great promise as a …

Biological cells routinely reconfigure their shape using dynamic signalling and regulatory
networks that direct self-assembly processes in time and space, through molecular …

The field of plasmonics has become one of the most interesting and active research areas in
nanotechnology, enabling numerous fundamental studies and applications in a variety of …

Molecular self-assembly offers a 'bottom-up'route to fabrication with subnanometre precision
of complex structures from simple components. DNA has proved to be a versatile building …

DNA molecules have been used to build a variety of nanoscale structures and devices over
the past 30 years, and potential applications have begun to emerge. But the development of …

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and
nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and …
