Nanoparticles have long been recognized for their unique properties, leading to exciting
potential applications across optics, electronics, magnetism, and catalysis. These specific …

The last two decades have witnessed the exponential development of DNA as a generic
material instead of just a genetic material. The biological function, nanoscale geometry …

Many nanometre-sized building blocks will readily assemble into macroscopic structures. If
the process is accompanied by effective control over the interactions between the blocks …

Self-assembly offers a promising method to organize functional nanoscale objects into two-
dimensional (2D) and 3D superstructures for exploiting their collective effects,,. On the other …

The rapid development of self-assembly approaches has enabled the creation of materials
with desired organization of nanoscale components. However, achieving dynamic control …

For atomic thin films, lattice mismatch during heteroepitaxy leads to an accumulation of
strain energy, generally causing the films to irreversibly deform and generate defects. In …

We investigate the reversible association of micrometer-sized colloids coated with
complementary single-stranded DNA “sticky ends” as a function of the temperature and the …

Effective identification of breast cancer stem cells (CSC) benefits from a multiplexed
approach to detect cell surface markers that can distinguish this subpopulation, which can …

Surface functionalization with DNA is a powerful tool for guiding the self-assembly of
nanometre-and micrometre-sized particles,,,,,,,,,,. Complementary 'sticky ends' form specific …

The pH-responsive nanoparticles were coupled with information-processing enzyme-based
systems to yield “smart” signal-responsive hybrid systems with built-in Boolean logic. The …
