Diana’s latest paper is now online at @J_A_C_S! A great demonstration of tailoring material properties in an intentional manner with programmed DNA interactions - “Using DNA to Control the Mechanical Response of Nanoparticle Superlattices” pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Using DNA to Control the Mechanical Response of Nanoparticle Superlattices

Abstract. Nanoparticle superlattice assembly has been proposed as an ideal means of programming material properties as a function of hierarchical organizat

How do random heteropolymers behave in solution? We in the Alexander-Katz group @mit_dmse present their assembled structures, surfaces, and dynamics with collaborators from the Xu group, now in @MacroJrnls_ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Behavior of Protein-Inspired Synthetic Random Heteropolymers

Abstract. Random heteropolymers (RHPs) are an interesting class of materials useful in many theories and applications. While previous studies typically foc

Professor MacFarlane is developing new techniques to manufacture materials via self-assembly that could eventually be used to create protective coatings, adhesives, sensors, and other devices. See his interview with MIT News on cleaning your smartphone: news.mit.edu/2020/robert-mac…
