Enhanced diffusion of colloidal tracers due to enzymatic activity
Mauricio Gomez, Erick Leyva, Justine Miqueu-Petit +5
Enzymatic catalysis can generate nonequilibrium fluctuations, but how these couple to tracer motion at larger length scales depends on physical context. Here, we investigate colloi…
Taming polymorphism of tubule self-assembly using templated growth
Sirui Liu, Thomas E. Videbæk, W. Benjamin Rogers
Self-closing assembly is prone to polymorphism due to thermally-excited bending fluctuations, which permit the formation of off-target assemblies at the point of self-closure. One…
A DNA-encoded recipe to direct multi-stage colloidal assembly
Pepijn G. Moerman, Chenghung Chou, Thomas E. Videbæk +2
In equilibrium self-assembly, microscopic building blocks spontaneously self-organize into stable structures as dictated by their interaction potentials, which limits the accessibl…
The polyhedral structure underlying programmable self-assembly
Maximilian C. Hübl, Thomas E. Videbæk, Daichi Hayakawa +2
Experiments have reached a monumental capacity for designing and synthesizing microscopic particles for self-assembly, making it possible to precisely control particle concentratio…
Magic sizes enable minimal-complexity, high-fidelity assembly of programmable shells
Botond Tyukodi, Fernando Caballero, Daichi Hayakawa +4
Recent advances in synthetic methods enable designing subunits that self-assemble into structures with precise, finite sizes and well-defined architectures, but yields are frequent…
From toroids to helical tubules: Kirigami-inspired programmable assembly of two-periodic curved crystals
Mason Price, Daichi Hayakawa, Thomas E. Videbæk +6
Biology is full of intricate molecular structures whose geometries are inextricably linked to their function. Many of these structures exhibit varying curvature, such as the helica…
