Colloidal crystal engineering of complex, low-symmetry architectures is challenging when
isotropic building blocks are assembled. Here we describe an approach to generating such …

HOOMD-blue is a particle simulation engine designed for nano-and colloidal-scale
molecular dynamics and hard particle Monte Carlo simulations. It has been actively …

The misfolding and mutation of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is commonly
associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). SOD1 can accumulate within stress …

Multicomponent nanoparticle superlattices (SLs) promise the integration of nanoparticles
(NPs) with remarkable electronic, magnetic, and optical properties into a single structure …

Ligands are the key to almost any strategy in the assembly of programmable nanocrystals
(or nanoparticles) and must be accurately considered in any predictive model. Hard Spheres …

Direct design of complex functional materials would revolutionize technologies ranging from
printable organs to novel clean energy devices. However, even incremental steps toward …

Heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) is a crucial element of chromatin organization. It has
been proposed that HP1α functions through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), which …

We establish the formula representing cubic nanocrystals (NCs) as hard cubes taking into
account the role of the ligands and describe how these results generalize to any other NC …

Thermodynamic stability assessment of nanocrystal systems requires precise free energy
calculations. This study highlights the importance of meticulous control over various factors …

Abstract The heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) family is a crucial component of
heterochromatin with diverse functions in gene regulation, cell cycle control, and cell …
