Entropy-driven physical amplification in multivalent biosensing
Xiuyang Xia, Yuhan Peng, Ran Ni
Sensitive detection of low-abundance molecular targets is widely assumed to require enzymatic amplification, such as PCR, to achieve low detection limits. In amplification-free pla…
Designed self-assembly of programmable colloidal atom-electron equivalents
Xiuyang Xia, Yuhan Peng, Ka Ki Li +1
To unlock the potential for assembling complex colloidal "molecules", we investigate a minimal binary system of programmable colloidal atom-electron equivalents (PAE-EE), where ele…
Entropy-Controlled Cross-Linking in Linker-Mediated Vitrimers
Qun-Li Lei, Xiuyang Xia, Juan Yang +2
Recently developed linker-mediated vitrimers based on metathesis of dioxaborolanes with various commercially available polymers have shown both good processability and outstanding…
Linker-mediated self-assembly of mobile DNA-coated colloids
Xiuyang Xia, Hao Hu, Massimo Pica Ciamarra +1
Developing construction methods of materials tailored for given applications with absolute control over building block placement poses an immense challenge. DNA-coated colloids off…
