Massive parallel force spectroscopy reveals a surprisingly high flexibility for DNA constructs used in DNA origami. The high flexibility is attributed to the structural dynamics of DNA self-assemblies.
We report a new type of metamaterial comprising a highly ordered 3D network of 3–7 nm lead sulfide quantum dots self-assembled in an organic matrix formed by amphiphilic ligands (oleic acid molecules).
We demonstrated a simple strategy for constructing enveloped artificial viral capsids by self-assembly of anionic artificial viral capsid and lipid bilayer containing cationic lipid.
