Macroscopic DNA-programmed photonic crystals via seeded growth
Alexander Hensley, Thomas E. Videbaek, Hunter Seyforth +2
Photonic crystals -- a class of materials whose optical properties derive from their structure in addition to their composition -- can be created by self-assembling particles whose…
Light-activated microtubule-based 2D active nematic
Zahra Zarei, John Berezney, Alexander Hensley +4
We characterize two-dimensional (2D) microtubule-based active nematics driven by light-responsive kinesin motor clusters. We assess two constructs of optogenetic kinesin: opto-K401…
Classical nucleation and growth of DNA-programmed colloidal crystallization
Alexander Hensley, William M. Jacobs, W. Benjamin Rogers
DNA-coated colloids can self-assemble into an incredible diversity of crystal structures, but applications of this technology are limited by poor understanding and control over the…
