Beyond DNA: New Digital Polymers
From a programming perspective, DNA is stunningly simple: a string of bits coding two types of interactions. The specific chemical form of DNA given to us by evolution imposes significant constraints on what is p...

Fractal assembly of micrometre-scale DNA origami arrays with arbitrary patterns
Simple assembly rules applied recursively in a multistage assembly process enable the creation of DNA origami arrays with sizes of up to 0.5 square micrometres and with arbitrary patterns.

Programmable disorder in random DNA tilings
Scaling up the complexity and diversity of synthetic molecular structures will require strategies that exploit the inherent stochasticity of molecular systems in a controlled fashion. Here we demonstrate a fra...

Bioorthogonal cyclization-mediated in situ self-assembly of small-molecule probes for imaging caspase activity in vivo
Directed self-assembly of small molecules in living systems could enable a myriad of applications in biology and medicine, and already this has been used widely to synthesize supramolecules and nano/microstruc...

DNA-based programming of quantum dot valency, self-assembly and luminescence
The electronic and optical properties of colloidal quantum dots, including the wavelengths of light that they can absorb and emit, depend on the size of the quantum dots. These properties have been exploited i...
