Supramolecular structuring of nanoparticle ligand shells revealed by liquid-phase AFM

Abstract Polymer grafts are a ubiquitous component of nanocrystal (NC) ligand shells and impart critical functionalities, including biocompatibility and colloidal stability. Although many techniques have been used for elucidating the supramolecular structure of polymer chains onc...

A Rotary DNA Mazzocchio Nanostructure

Abstract DNA nanotechnology offers architectures ranging from compact motifs to scaffolded origami, with trade-offs in structural complexity, addressability, and component economy. Here, we translate Leonardo da Vinci’s mazzocchio geometry into a programmable DNA assembly. Twenty...
