Bridging biological complexity and synthetic material design, we investigate dissipative self-assembly in patchy particle systems. Utilizing Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations, we ...

Overall, we identify optimal kinetic protocols for self-assembly as a powerful mechanism to achieve efficient and high-yield assembly in synthetic systems whether robustness or ease of “designability” ...

Parallel self-assembly is an efficient approach to accelerate the assembly process for modular robots. However, these approaches cannot accommodate complicated environments with obstacles, which ...

Blending self-assembling materials together has enabled CFN scientists to uncover unique structures, but it has also created new challenges. With many more parameters to control in the self-assembly ...

In the last few decades, DNA-based self-assembly tiles has become a hot field in research due to its special applications and advantages. The regularity and strong design methods comprise other ...

That would be true hierarchical self-assembly. We use the new self-assembly concept for photonic resonators, which may be used in electronics, nanorobotics, sensors, quantum technologies, and much ...

Directed self-assembly (DSA) typically is described as a process in which co-polymer materials self-assemble to form nanoscale resolution patterns on a semiconductor substrate. While this is an ...
