Programming Nanoscale Assembly: Principles, Phenomena, Applications
Gang’s lab develops strategies for organizing nanoscale components, inorganic and organic, into the desired organizations for creating material systems with regulated behaviors and functions.
Our approaches bridges DNA-encoded nano-objects with structural plasticity of DNA constructs to establish programmable, yet self-assembled formation of material systems.
- Developing approaches and revealing fundamentals required for engineered nanoscale lattices, clusters and arbitrarily designed architectures via programmable assembly
- Transferring advances in self-assembled for creation of new materials for nano-optics, nano-mechanics, chemically active and biologically relevant systems
- Establishing animated materials systems with regulated pathways and autonomously-controlled transformations
