Synthetic paracrine signaling of colloids drives self-assembly limit cycles
Tim E. Veenstra, René van Roij, René van Roij +2
Developing synthetic materials that exhibit life-like behavior, such as internally driven cycles, remains a central challenge in active matter. Here, we introduce a minimal colloid…
Multispecific DNA-Coatings for Self-Assembly
T. C. M. Stevens, A. van der Sluis, I. K. Voets +1
DNA-coated particles are promising as building blocks for functional and finite-sized assemblies because they can be programmed with orthogonal interactions owing to the sequence-s…
A simulation that recapitulates the dynamics of PER-directed colloidal assembly
Cheng-Hung Chou, Pepijn G. Moerman, Sikao Guo +4
The self-assembly of DNA-coated colloids controlled by enzymatic reactions has the potential to enable the formation of materials with hierarchical organization and switchable conf…
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…
