A recent article in Small describes a modular platform for assembling protein-DNA composites using covalent, site-specific conjugation. This method enables the formation of stable structures with ...

Prof. PENG Chenhui's team from the School of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), realized the collective transfer and reconfigurable self-assembly of colloidal particles by ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst has drawn inspiration from a wide variety of natural geometric motifs—including those of 12-sided dice and potato chips—in order to ...

Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in materials science with applications in protein design. The results, which could ...

An interference pattern showing the instantaneous deformation of the air-water interface by four micro-rafts spinning at 2,500 rounds per minute. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported the programmed self-assembly of bacterial populations by ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.

I develop computational methods for programmable self-assembly, building simulation frameworks that predict how molecular components follow designed interaction rules to form target structures. My ...
