Machine learned designs of functional colloidal foldamers
Ryan van Mastrigt, Zorana Zeravcic
A protein's function follows from the structure it adopts, and in some cases which structure that is depends on the pathway taken. In programmable matter the target is fixed before…

Prospecting for Pluripotency in Metamaterial Design
Ryan van Mastrigt, Marjolein Dijkstra, Martin van Hecke +1
From self-assembly and protein folding to combinatorial metamaterials, a key challenge in material design is finding the right combination of interacting building blocks that yield…
