Herein, we report a new, noncovalent DNA-based strategy for controlling the stepwise
growth of layered nanoparticle structures off of glass surfaces. Others have demonstrated …

A major limitation in nanoparticle-based materials chemistry is the lack of suitable assembly
methods for preparing extended two-and three-dimensional architectures with synthetically …

A study aimed at understanding the factors that control the optical properties of DNA-linked
gold nanoparticle aggregates containing oligonucleotide linkers of varying length (24− 72 …

DNA-driven assembly of nanoscale objects has emerged as a powerful platform for the
creation of materials by design via self-assembly. Recent years have seen much progress in …

Nanofabrication, or the organizational control over matter at the nanometre scale, is an
intriguing scientific challenge requiring multidisciplinary tools for its solution. DNA is a …

A significant challenge faced in the use of nanoscale building blocks is developing parallel
methods for interconnecting and patterning assemblies of the individual components …

Learning how to control the formation and two-and three-dimensional assembly of molecular
scale building blocks into well-defined meso-and macroscopic structures is the essence of …

Symmetry breaking and the associated introduction of anisotropy in nanoparticle systems
have been a major challenge for chemists and physicists working on nano-materials in …

We have determined the minimum number of base pairings necessary to stabilize DNA− Au
NP aggregates as a function of salt concentration for particles between 15 and 150 nm in …

Surface functionalization with bioinspired binding groups is increasingly used to steer nano-
and microscale self-assembly processes, with complementary DNA “sticky ends” as one of …
