Description:
Article Controlling self-assembly of nanoparticles into superlattices is an important approach to build functional materials. Here, Lu et al . use directional binding provided by DNA-encoded polyhedral blocks—cubes or octahedrons—to guide spherical nanoparticles into clusters and three-dimensional lattices.
