Bottom-up nanotechnology involves two primary approaches: assembly and synthesis. In the former approach, smart features are achieved when discrete objects assemble with smart organic ligands like DNA. However, the smart features of the synthesis approach are confronted with the challenge of manipulating atoms that are transient in nature. Here, we show that single DNA molecules can promote nanomaterial synthesis with smart features and designable motifs, some of which yield interesting shapes, e.g., four-leaf clovers, red blood cells, or jellyfish. Our work clearly demonstrates the feasibility of synthesis-with-design for programmable colloidal nanomaterials. This work revealed the regulation effect of DNA in nanomaterial synthesis, and clearly demonstrated the feasibility of synthesis-with-design for programmable colloidal nanomaterials. The creation of designable nanostructures potentially drives the next wave of materials produced from bottom-up nanotechnology. |
