Abstract
This study focuses on the design and characterization of binary nanoparticle superlattices: Two differently sized, supercharged protein nanocages are used to create a matrix for nanoparticle arrangement. We have previously established the assembly of protein nanocages of the same size. Here, we present another approach for multicomponent biohybrid material synthesis by successfully assembling two differently sized supercharged protein nanocages with different symmetries. Typically, the ordered assembly of objects with nonmatching symmetry is challenging, but our electrostatic-based approach overcomes the symmetry mismatch by exploiting electrostatic interactions between oppositely charged cages. Moreover, our study showcases the use of nanoparticles as a contrast enhancer in an elegant way to gain insights into the structural details of crystalline biohybrid materials. The assembled materials were characterized with various methods, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and single-crystal small-angle X-ray diffraction (SC-SAXD). We employed cryo-plasma-focused ion beam milling (cryo-PFIB) to prepare lamellae for the investigation of nanoparticle sublattices via electron cryo-tomography. Importantly, we refined superlattice structure data obtained from single-crystal SAXD experiments, providing conclusive evidence of the final assembly type. Our findings highlight the versatility of protein nanocages for creating distinctive types of binary superlattices. Because the nanoparticles do not influence the type of assembly, protein cage matrices can combine various nanoparticles in the solid state. This study not only contributes to the expanding repertoire of nanoparticle assembly methods but also demonstrates the power of advanced characterization techniques in elucidating the structural intricacies of these biohybrid materials.

Abstract
Assembly of nanoparticles into superlattices yields nanomaterials with novel properties. We have recently shown that engineered protein cages are excellent building blocks for the assembly of inorganic nanoparticles into highly structured hybrid materials, with unprecedented precision. In this study, we show that the protein matrix, composed of surface-charged protein cages, can be readily tuned to achieve a number of different crystalline assemblies. Simply by altering the assembly conditions, different types of crystalline structures were produced, without the need to further modify the cages. Future work can utilize these new protein scaffolds to create nanoparticle superlattices with various assembly geometries and thus tune the functionality of these hybrid materials.

Abstract
The finite periodic arrangement of functional nanomaterials on the two-dimensional scale enables the integration and enhancement of individual properties, making them an important research topic in the field of tuneable nanodevices. Although layer-controllable lattices such as graphene have been successfully synthesized, achieving similar control over colloidal nanoparticles remains a challenge. DNA origami technology has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in programmed nanoparticle assembly. Based on this technology, we proposed a hierarchical assembly strategy to construct a universal DNA origami platform with customized layer properties, which we called 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) DNA origami crystals. Methodologically, this strategy divides the assembly procedure into two steps: 1) array synthesis, and 2) lattice synthesis, which means that the layer properties, including layer number, interlayer distance, and surface morphology, can be flexibly customized based on the independent designs in each step. In practice, these synthesized 2.5D crystals not only pioneer the expansion of the DNA origami crystal library to a wider range of dimensions, but also highlight the technological potential for templating 2.5D colloidal nanomaterial lattices.

Abstract
High-fidelity patterning of DNA origami nanostructures on various interfaces holds great potential for nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. However, distortion of a DNA origami often occurs due to the strong interface interactions, e.g., on two-dimensional (2D) materials. In this study, we discovered that the adsorption of silica precursors in rapid silicification can prevent the distortion caused by graphene and generates a high shape-fidelity DNA origami-silica composite on a graphene interface. We found that an incubation time of 1 min and silicification time of 16 h resulted in the formation of DNA origami-silica composites with the highest shape fidelity of 99%. By comparing the distortion of the DNA origami on the graphene interface with and without silicification, we observed that rapid silicification effectively preserved the integrity of the DNA origami. Statistical analysis of scanning electron microscopy data indicates that compared to bare DNA origami, the DNA origami-silica composite has an increased shape fidelity by more than two folds. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations revealed that rapid silicification effectively suppresses the distortion of the DNA origami through the interhelical insertion of silica precursors. Our strategy provides a simple yet effective solution to maintain the shape-fidelity DNA origami on interfaces that have strong interaction with DNA molecules, expanding the applicable interfaces for patterning 2D DNA origamis.

Abstract
A general guiding principle for colloidal crystallization is to tame the attractive enthalpy such that it slightly overwhelms the repulsive interaction. As-synthesized colloids are generally designed to retain a strong repulsive potential for the high stability of suspensions, encoding appropriate attractive potentials into colloids has been key to their crystallization. Despite the myriad of interparticle attractions for colloidal crystallization, the van der Waals (vdW) force remains unexplored. Here, it is shown that the implementation of gold cores into silica colloids and the resulting vdW force can reconfigure the pair potential well depth to the optimal range between -1 and -4 kB T at tens of nanometer-scale colloidal distances. As such, colloidal crystals with a distinct liquid gap can be formed, which is evidenced by photonic bandgap-based diffractive colorization.

Abstract
Coupling between molecular vibrations leads to collective vibrational states with spectral features sensitive to local molecular order. This provides spectroscopic access to the low-frequency intermolecular energy landscape. In its nanospectroscopic implementation, this technique of vibrational coupling nanocrystallography (VCNC) offers information on molecular disorder and domain formation with nanometer spatial resolution. However, deriving local molecular order relies on prior knowledge of the transition dipole magnitude and crystal structure of the underlying ordered phase. Here we develop a quantitative model for VCNC by relating nano-FTIR collective vibrational spectra to the molecular crystal structure from X-ray crystallography. We experimentally validate our approach at the example of a metal organic porphyrin complex with a carbonyl ligand as the probe vibration. This framework establishes VCNC as a powerful tool for measuring low-energy molecular interactions, wave function delocalization, nanoscale disorder, and domain formation in a wide range of molecular systems.

Abstract
Protein crystallization plays a central role in structural biology. Despite this, the process of crystallization remains poorly understood and highly empirical, with crystal contacts, lattice packing arrangements and space group preferences being largely unpredictable. Programming protein crystallization through precisely engineered side-chain-side-chain interactions across protein-protein interfaces is an outstanding challenge. Here we develop a general computational approach for designing three-dimensional protein crystals with prespecified lattice architectures at atomic accuracy that hierarchically constrains the overall number of degrees of freedom of the system. We design three pairs of oligomers that can be individually purified, and upon mixing, spontaneously self-assemble into >100 µm three-dimensional crystals. The structures of these crystals are nearly identical to the computational design models, closely corresponding in both overall architecture and the specific protein-protein interactions. The dimensions of the crystal unit cell can be systematically redesigned while retaining the space group symmetry and overall architecture, and the crystals are extremely porous and highly stable. Our approach enables the computational design of protein crystals with high accuracy, and the designed protein crystals, which have both structural and assembly information encoded in their primary sequences, provide a powerful platform for biological materials engineering.

Abstract
Nanocrystal gels exhibit collective optical phenomena based on interactions among their constituent building blocks. However, their inherently disordered structures have made it challenging to understand, predict, or design properties such as optical absorption spectra that are sensitive to the coupling between the plasmon resonances of the individual nanocrystals. Here, we bring indium tin oxide nanocrystal gels under chemical control and show that their infrared absorption can be predicted and systematically tuned by selecting the nanocrystal sizes and compositions and molecular structures of the link-mediating surface ligands. Thermoreversible assemblies with metal-terpyridine links form reproducible gel architectures, enabling us to derive a plasmon ruler that governs the spectral shifts upon gelation, predicated on the nanocrystal and ligand compositions. This empirical guide is validated using large-scale, many-bodied simulations to compute the optical spectra of gels with varied structural parameters. Based on the derived plasmon ruler, we design and demonstrate a nanocrystal mixture whose spectrum exhibits distinctive line narrowing upon assembly.

Abstract
This paper describes how two-dimensional plasmonic nanoparticle lattices covered with microscale arrays of dielectric patches can show superlattice surface lattice resonances (SLRs). These optical resonances originate from multiscale diffractive coupling that can be controlled by the periodicity and size of the patterned dielectrics. The features in the optical dispersion diagram are similar to those of index-matched microscale arrays of metal nanoparticle lattices, having the same lateral dimensions as the dielectric patches. With an increase in nanoparticle size, superlattice SLRs can also support quadrupole excitations with distinct dispersion diagrams. The tunable optical band structure enabled by patterned dielectrics on plasmonic nanoparticle arrays offers prospects for enhanced nonlinear optics, nanoscale lasing, and engineered parity-time symmetries.

Abstract
Self-assembling of nanoparticles into complex superstructures is very challenging, which usually depends on postorganizing techniques or pre-existing templates such as polypeptide chains or DNA or external stimulus. Such self-assembled processes typically lead to close-packed structures. Here, it has been demonstrated that under carefully template-free reaction conditions CdS quantum dots (QDs) could be synthesized and simultaneously self-assembled into complex superstructures without compromising individual QD properties. The superstructures of CdS QDs attained by the chemical-based method demonstrate Stokes-shifted photoluminescence (PL) from trap states. Remarkably, the PL decay of superstructures exhibits a single-exponential feature. This behavior is unusual for the synthesized superstructures, indicating that the trap states are restricted to a narrow range. The growth mechanism of these superstructures is explained through the formation of liquid crystal phases (LCPs) with the help of a small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis.

Abstract
The conception, synthesis, and invention of a nanostructure, now known as the spherical nucleic acid, or SNA, in 1996 marked the advent of a new field of chemistry. Over the past three decades, the SNA and its analogous anisotropic equivalents have provided an avenue for us to think about some of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry in new ways and led to technologies that are significantly impacting fields from medicine to materials science. A prime example is colloidal crystal engineering with DNA, the framework for using SNAs and related structures to synthesize programmable matter. Herein, we document the evolution of this framework, which was initially inspired by nature, and describe how it now allows researchers to chart paths to move beyond it, as programmable matter with real-world significance is envisioned and created.

Abstract
Metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) are inherently porous, discrete, and solvent-dispersive, and directing them into chiral superlattices through direct self-assembly remains a considerable challenge due to their nanoscale size and structural complexity. In this work, we illustrate a postmodification protocol to covalently conjugate a chiral cholesteryl pendant to MOPs. Postmodification retained the coordination cores and allowed for reaction-induced self-assembly in loosely packed nanosized columns without supramolecular chirality. Solvent-processed bottom-up self-assembly in aqueous media facilitated the well-defined packing into twisted superlattices with a 5 nm lattice parameter. Experimental and computational results validated the role of intercholesteryl forces in spinning the nanosized MOPs, which achieved the chirality transfer to supramolecular scale with chiral optics. This work establishes a novel protocol in rational design of MOP-based chiroptical materials for potential applications of enantioselective adsorption, catalysis, and separation.

Abstract
Colloidal noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) are composed of metal cores and organic or inorganic ligand shells. These NPs support size- and shape-dependent plasmonic resonances. They can be assembled from dispersions into artificial metamolecules which have collective plasmonic resonances originating from coupled bright and dark optical electric and magnetic modes that form depending on the size and shape of the constituent NPs and their number, arrangement, and interparticle distance. NPs can also be assembled into extended 2D and 3D metamaterials that are glassy thin films or ordered thin films or crystals, also known as superlattices and supercrystals. The metamaterials have tunable optical properties that depend on the size, shape, and composition of the NPs, and on the number of NP layers and their interparticle distance. Interestingly, strong light-matter interactions in superlattices form plasmon polaritons. Tunable interparticle distances allow designer materials with dielectric functions tailorable from that characteristic of an insulator to that of a metal, and serve as strong optical absorbers or scatterers, respectively. In combination with lithography techniques, these extended assemblies can be patterned to create subwavelength NP superstructures and form large-area 2D and 3D metamaterials that manipulate the amplitude, phase, and polarization of transmitted or reflected light.

Abstract
DNA-mediated programming is emerging as an effective technology that enables controlled dynamic assembly/disassembly of inorganic nanocrystals (NC) with precise numbers and spatial locations for biomedical imaging applications. In this review, we will begin with a brief overview of the rules of NC dynamic assembly driven by DNA ligands, and the research progress on the relationship between NC assembly modes and their biomedical imaging performance. Then, we will give examples on how the driven program is designed by different interactions through the configuration switching of DNA-NC conjugates for biomedical applications. Finally, we will conclude with the current challenges and future perspectives of this emerging field. Hopefully, this review will deepen our knowledge on the DNA-guided precise assembly of NCs, which may further inspire the future development of smart chemical imaging devices and high-performance biomedical imaging probes.

Abstract
Self-assembled nanoparticle superlattices (NPSLs) are an emergent class of self-architected nanocomposite materials that possess promising properties arising from precise nanoparticle ordering. Their multiple coupled properties make them desirable as functional components in devices where mechanical robustness is critical. However, questions remain about NPSL mechanical properties and how shaping them affects their mechanical response. Here, we perform in situ nanomechanical experiments that evidence up to an 11-fold increase in stiffness (∼1.49 to 16.9 GPa) and a 5-fold increase in strength (∼88 to 426 MPa) because of surface stiffening/strengthening from shaping these nanomaterials via focused-ion-beam milling. To predict the mechanical properties of shaped NPSLs, we present discrete element method (DEM) simulations and an analytical core-shell model that capture the FIB-induced stiffening response. This work presents a route for tunable mechanical responses of self-architected NPSLs and provides two frameworks to predict their mechanical response and guide the design of future NPSL-containing devices.

Abstract
Self-assembled inorganic nanocrystal (NC) superlattices are powerful material platforms with diverse structures and emergent functionalities. However, their applications suffer from the low structural stability against solvents and other stimuli, due to the weak interparticle interactions. Existing strategies to stabilize NC superlattices typically require the design and incorporation of special ligands prior to self-assembly and are only applicable to superlattices of certain NCs, ligands, and structures. Here we report a general method to stabilize superlattices of various NC compositions and structures via strong, covalently bonded ligands. The core is the use of light-triggered, nitrene-based cross-linkers that do not interfere the self-assembly process while nonspecifically and effectively bonding the native ligands of NCs. The stabilized 2D and 3D superlattices of metal, semiconductor, and magnetic NCs retain their structures when being exposed to solvents of different polarities (from toluene to water) and show high thermal stability and mechanical rigidity. This can further stabilize binary NC superlattices, beyond those achievable in previous methods. Stabilized superlattices show robust and reproducible functionalities, for instance, when serving as reusable substrates for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. These results create more possibilities in exploiting the impressive library of NC superlattices in a broad scope of applications.

Abstract
Understanding the dynamics of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) in a solution is the key to assembling them into solids through a solution process such as electrophoretic deposition. In this study, newly developed in situ analysis with light scattering is used to examine NP dynamics induced by a non-uniform electric field. We reveal that the symmetric directions of moving NP aggregates are due to dielectrophoresis between the cylindrical electrodes, while the actual NP deposition is based on the charge of NPs (electrophoresis). Over time, the symmetry of the dynamics becomes less evident, inducing feeble deposition as the less-ordered dynamics become stronger. Eventually, two separate deposition mechanisms emerge as the deposition rate decreases with the change in the NP dynamics. Furthermore, we identify the vortex-like NP motion between the electrodes. These in situ analyses provide insights into the electrophoretic deposition mechanism and NP behavior in a solution under an electric field for fine film construction.

Abstract
The controllable packing of functional nanoparticles (NPs) into crystalline lattices is of interest in the development of NP-based materials. Here we demonstrate that the size, morphology and symmetry of such supercrystals can be tailored by adjusting the surface dynamics of their constituent NPs. In the presence of excess tetraethylammonium cations, atomically precise [Au25(SR)18]- NPs (where SR is a thiolate ligand) can be crystallized into micrometre-sized hexagonal rod-like supercrystals, rather than as face-centred-cubic superlattices otherwise. Experimental characterization supported by theoretical modelling shows that the rod-like crystals consist of polymeric chains in which Au25 NPs are held together by a linear SR-[Au(I)-SR]4 interparticle linker. This linker is formed by conjugation of two dynamically detached SR-[Au(I)-SR]2 protecting motifs from adjacent Au25 particles, and is stabilized by a combination of CH⋯π and ion-pairing interactions between tetraethylammonium cations and SR ligands. The symmetry, morphology and size of the resulting supercrystals can be systematically tuned by changing the concentration and type of the tetraalkylammonium cations.

Abstract
An exquisite, versatile, and reproducible quantification of DNA loading on gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) has long been pursued because this loading influences the analytical, therapeutic, and self-assembly behaviors of DNA-Au NPs. Nevertheless, the existing methods used thus far rely solely on the invasive detachment and subsequent spectroscopic quantification of DNA, which are error-prone and highly dependent on trained personnel. Here, we present a non-invasive optical framework that can determine the number of DNA strands on Au NPs by versatile one-step measurement of the visible absorption spectra of DNA-Au NP solutions without any invasive modifications or downstream processes. Using effective medium theory in conjunction with electromagnetic numerical calculation, the change in DNA loading density, resulting from varying the ion concentration, Au NP size, DNA strand length, and surrounding temperature, can be tracked in situ merely by the one-step measurement of visible absorption spectra, which is otherwise impossible to achieve. Moreover, the simplicity and robustness of this method promote reproducible DNA loading quantification regardless of experimental adeptness, which is in stark contrast with existing invasive and multistep methods. Overall, the optical framework outlined in this work can contribute to democratizing research on DNA-Au NPs and facilitating their rapid adoption in transformative applications.

Abstract
The small non-coding RNA, microRNA-21 (miR-21), is dysregulated in various cancers and can be considered an appropriate target for therapeutic approaches. Therefore, the detection of miR-21 concentration is important in the diagnosis of diseases. Low specificity and the cost of materials are two necessary limitations in the traditional diagnosis method such as RT-PCR, northern blotting and microarray analysis. Biosensor technology can play an effective role in improving the quality of human life due to its capacity of rapid diagnosis, monitoring different markers, suitable sensitivity, and specificity. Moreover, bioanalytical systems have an essential role in the detection of biomolecules or miRNAs due to their critical features, including easy usage, portability, low cost and real-time analysis. Electrochemical biosensors based on novel nanomaterials and oligonucleotides can hybridize with miR-21 in different ranges. Moreover, optical biosensors and piezoelectric devices have been developed for miR-21 detection. In this study, we have evaluated different materials used in bioanalytical systems for miR-21 detection as well as various nanomaterials that offer improved electrodes for its detection.

Abstract
Computational modeling of plasmonic periodic structures are challenging due to their multiscale nature. On one hand, nanoscale building blocks require very fine spatial discretization of the computation domain to describe the near-field nature of the localized surface plasmons. On the other hand, the microscale supercrystals require large simulation domains. To tackle this challenge, two approaches are generally taken: (i) an effective medium approach, neglecting the nanoscale effects and (ii) the use of a unit cell with periodic boundary conditions, neglecting the overall habit of the supercrystal. The latter, which is used to calculate the photonic band structure of these supercrystals, fails to describe the photonic properties arising from their finite-size such as Fabry-Pérot modes (FPMs), whispering gallery modes (WGMs), and decrease of the photonic mode lifetime. Here, we developed a computational approach, based on the finite-difference time-domain method to accurately calculate the photonic band structures of finite supercrystals. We applied this new approach to 3D periodic microstructures of Au nanoparticles with cubic, spherical, and rhombic dodecahedral habits and discuss how their photonic band structures differ from those of infinite structures. Finally, we compared the photonic band structures to reflectance spectra and describe phenomena such as FPMs, WGMs, and polaritonic bandgaps.

Abstract
Nanophotonics relies on precise control of refractive index (RI) which can be designed with metamaterials. Plasmonic superstructures of nanoparticles (NPs) can suggest a versatile way of tuning RI. However, the plasmonic effects in the superstructures demand 1 nm-level exquisite control over the interparticle gap, which is challenging in a sub-wavelength NPs. Thus far, a large-area demonstration has been mostly discouraged. Here, heteroligand AuNPs are prepared, which are stable in oil but become Janus particles at the oil-water interface, called "adaptive Janus particles." NPs are bound at the interface and assembled into 2D arrays over square centimeters as toluene evaporates, which distinctively exhibits the RI tunability. In visible and NIR light, the 2D superstructures exhibit the highest-ever RI (≈7.8) with varying the size and interparticle gap of NPs, which is successfully explained by a plasmonic percolation model. Furthermore, fully solution-processable 2D plasmonic superstructures are proved to be advantageous in flexible photonic devices such as distributed Bragg reflectors.

Abstract
Colloidal crystal engineering with DNA has led to significant advances in bottom-up materials synthesis and a new way of thinking about fundamental concepts in chemistry. Here, programmable atom equivalents (PAEs), comprised of nanoparticles (the "atoms") functionalized with DNA (the "bonding elements"), are assembled through DNA hybridization into crystalline lattices. Unlike atomic systems, the "atom" (e.g., the nanoparticle shape, size, and composition) and the "bond" (e.g., the DNA length and sequence) can be tuned independently, yielding designer materials with unique catalytic, optical, and biological properties. In this review, nearly three decades of work that have contributed to the evolution of this class of programmable matter is chronicled, starting from the earliest examples based on gold-core PAEs, and then delineating how advances in synthetic capabilities, DNA design, and fundamental understanding of PAE-PAE interactions have led to new classes of functional materials that, in several cases, have no natural equivalent.

Abstract
Plasmonic materials are promising for applications in enhanced sensing, energy, and advanced optical communications. These applications, however, often require chemical and physical functionality that is suited and designed for the specific application. In particular, plasmonic materials need to access the wide spectral range from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared in addition to having the requisite surface characteristics, temperature dependence, or structural features that are not intrinsic to or easily accessed by the noble metals. Herein, we describe current progress and identify promising strategies for further expanding the capabilities of plasmonic materials both across the electromagnetic spectrum and in functional areas that can enable new technology and opportunities.

Abstract
Although examples of colloidal crystal analogues to metal alloys have been reported, general routes for preparing 3D analogues to random substitutional alloys do not exist. Here, we use the programmability of DNA (length and sequence) to match nanoparticle component sizes, define parent lattice symmetry and substitutional order, and achieve faceted crystal habits. We synthesized substitutional alloy colloidal crystals with either ordered or random arrangements of two components (Au and Fe3O4 nanoparticles) within an otherwise identical parent lattice and crystal habit, confirmed via scanning electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy reveals information regarding composition and local order, while the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles can direct different structural outcomes for different alloys in an applied magnetic field. This work constitutes a platform for independently defining substitution within multicomponent colloidal crystals, a capability that will expand the scope of functional materials that can be realized through programmable assembly.

Abstract
DNA-coated colloids can self-assemble into an incredible diversity of crystal structures, but their applications have been limited by poor understanding and control over the crystallization dynamics. To address this challenge, we use microfluidics to quantify the kinetics of DNA-programmed self-assembly along the entire crystallization pathway, from thermally activated nucleation through reaction-limited and diffusion-limited phases of crystal growth. Our detailed measurements of the temperature and concentration dependence of the kinetics at all stages of crystallization provide a stringent test of classical theories of nucleation and growth. After accounting for the finite rolling and sliding rates of micrometer-sized DNA-coated colloids, we show that modified versions of these classical theories predict the absolute nucleation and growth rates with quantitative accuracy. We conclude by applying our model to design and demonstrate protocols for assembling large single crystals with pronounced structural coloration, an essential step in creating next-generation optical metamaterials from colloids.

Abstract
Self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) into highly ordered structure can enhance their electronic and optical properties that provide great potential applications such as nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. However, the self-assembly of NPs upon external stimuli was still mainly continuous and irreversible, making various potential applications of NPs difficult. Herein, the self-assembled superlattices of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a temperature-selective response had been investigated by using the amphiphilic block copolymer as a template. The AuNPs in the block copolymer template, which has the closed looplike phase behavior upon heating, self-assembled into the highly ordered body centered cubic (BCC) or face centered cubic (FCC) structures at a specific temperature region that means a temperature-selective responsiveness. The formation of highly ordered self-assembled superlattices (BCC or FCC symmetries) of AuNPs with the closed looplike phase behavior was controlled by the additive and temperature. This study is the first demonstration for temperature-selective response of the cooperative self-assembly of AuNPs in the block copolymer template.

Abstract
Colloidal crystallization using DNA provides a robust method for fabricating highly programmable nanoparticle superstructures with collective plasmonic properties. Here, we report on the DNA-guided fabrication of 3D plasmonic aggregates from polydisperse gold nanoprisms. We first construct 1D crystals via DNA-induced and shape-directed face-to-face assembly of anisotropic gold nanoprisms. Using the near-Tm thermal annealing approach that promotes long-range DNA-induced interaction and ordering, we then assemble 1D nanoprism crystals into a 3D nanoprism aggregate that exhibits a polycrystalline morphology with nanoscale ordering and microscale dimensions. The presence of closely packed nanoprism arrays over a large area gives rise to strong near-field plasmonic coupling and generates a high density of plasmonic hot spots within the 3D nanoprism aggregates that exhibit excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering performance. The plasmonic 3D nanoprism aggregates demonstrate significant SERS enhancement (<106), and low detection limits (10-9M) with good sample-to-sample reproducibility (CV ∼ only 5.6%) for SERS analysis of the probe molecule, methylene blue. These findings highlight the potential of 3D anisotropic nanoparticle aggregates as functional plasmonic nanoarchitectures that could find applications in sensing, photonics, optoelectronics and lasing.

Abstract
Plasmonic gap nanostructures (PGNs) have been extensively investigated mainly because of their strongly enhanced optical responses, which stem from the high intensity of the localized field in the nanogap. The recently developed methods for the preparation of versatile nanogap structures open new avenues for the exploration of unprecedented optical properties and development of sensing applications relying on the amplification of various optical signals. However, the reproducible and controlled preparation of highly uniform plasmonic nanogaps and the prediction, understanding, and control of their optical properties, especially for nanogaps in the nanometer or sub-nanometer range, remain challenging. This is because subtle changes in the nanogap significantly affect the plasmonic response and are of paramount importance to the desired optical performance and further applications. Here, recent advances in the synthesis, assembly, and fabrication strategies, prediction and control of optical properties, and sensing applications of PGNs are discussed, and perspectives toward addressing these challenging issues and the future research directions are presented.

Abstract
We report on the assembly of gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) superlattices at the liquid/vapor interface and in the bulk of their suspensions. Interparticle distances in the assemblies are achieved on multiple length scales by varying chain lengths of surface grafted AuNPs by polyethylene glycol (PEG) with molecular weights in the range 2000-40,000 Da. Crystal structures and lattice constants in both 2D and 3D assemblies are determined by synchrotron-based surface-sensitive and small-angle X-ray scattering. Assuming knowledge of grafting density, we show that experimentally determined interparticle distances are adequately modeled by spherical brushes close to the θ point (Flory-Huggins parameter, χ≈12) for 2D superlattices at a liquid interface and a nonsolvent (χ = ∞) for the 3D dry superlattices.

Abstract
Ligand protected noble metal nanoparticles are excellent building blocks for colloidal self-assembly. Metal nanoparticle self-assembly offers routes for a wide range of multifunctional nanomaterials with enhanced optoelectronic properties. The emergence of atomically precise monolayer thiol-protected noble metal nanoclusters has overcome numerous challenges such as uncontrolled aggregation, polydispersity, and directionalities faced in plasmonic nanoparticle self-assemblies. Because of their well-defined molecular compositions, enhanced stability, and diverse surface functionalities, nanoclusters offer an excellent platform for developing colloidal superstructures via the self-assembly driven by surface ligands and metal cores. More importantly, recent reports have also revealed the hierarchical structural complexity of several nanoclusters. In this review, the formulation and periodic self-assembly of different noble metal nanoclusters are focused upon. Further, self-assembly induced amplification of physicochemical properties, and their potential applications in molecular recognition, sensing, gas storage, device fabrication, bioimaging, therapeutics, and catalysis are discussed. The topics covered in this review are extensively associated with state-of-the-art achievements in the field of precision noble metal nanoclusters.

Abstract
The controlled assembly of nanomaterials into desired architectures presents many opportunities; however, current preparations lack spatial precision and versatility in developing complex nano-architectures. Inspired by the amphiphilic nature of surfactants, we develop a facile approach to guide nanomaterial integration – spatial organization and distribution – in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Named surfactant tunable spatial architecture (STAR), the technology leverages the varied interactions of surfactants with nanoparticles and MOF constituents, respectively, to direct nanoparticle arrangement while molding the growing framework. By surfactant matching, the approach achieves not only tunable and precise integration of diverse nanomaterials in different MOF structures, but also fast and aqueous synthesis, in solution and on solid substrates. Employing the approach, we develop a dual-probe STAR that comprises peripheral working probes and central reference probes to achieve differential responsiveness to biomarkers. When applied for the direct profiling of clinical ascites, STAR reveals glycosylation signatures of extracellular vesicles and differentiates cancer patient prognosis. Current methods for controlled assembly of nanomaterials into desired architectures often lack the precision and versatility to develop complex architectures. Here the authors report STAR, surfactant tunable spatial architecture, to guide nanomaterial integration in metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
DNA origami technology has proven to be an excellent tool for precisely manipulating molecules and colloidal elements in a three-dimensional manner. However, fabrication of single crystals with well-defined facets from highly programmable, complex DNA origami units is a great challenge. Here, we report the successful fabrication of DNA origami single crystals with Wulff shapes and high yield. By regulating the symmetries and binding modes of the DNA origami building blocks, the crystalline shapes can be designed and well-controlled. The single crystals are then used to induce precise growth of an ultrathin layer of silica on the edges, resulting in mechanically reinforced silica-DNA hybrid structures that preserve the details of the single crystals without distortion. The silica-infused microcrystals can be directly observed in the dry state, which allows meticulous analysis of the crystal facets and tomographic 3D reconstruction of the single crystals by high-resolution electron microscopy.

Abstract
The ability to create nanoengineered silicon carbide (SiC) architectures is important for the diversity of optical, electronic, and mechanical applications. Here, we report a fabrication of periodic three-dimensional (3D) SiC nanoscale architectures using a self-assembled and designed 3D DNA-based framework. The assembly is followed by the templating into silica and subsequent conversion into SiC using a lower temperature pathway (<700 °C) via magnesium reduction. The formed SiC framework lattice has a unit size of about 50 nm and domains over 5 μm, and it preserves the integrity of the original 3D DNA lattice. The spectroscopic and electron microscopy characterizations reveal SiC crystalline morphology of 3D nanoarchitectured lattices, whereas electrical probing shows 2 orders of magnitude enhancements of electrical conductivity over the precursor silica framework. The reported approach offers a versatile methodology toward creating highly structured and spatially prescribed SiC nanoarchitectures through the DNA-programmable assembly and the combination of templating processes.

Abstract
Advance of photonics media is restrained by the lack of structuring techniques for the 3D fabrication of active materials with long-range periodicity. A methodology is reported for the engineering of tunable resonant photonic media with thickness exceeding the plasmonic near-field enhancement region by more than two orders of magnitude. The media architecture consists of a stochastically ordered distribution of plasmonic nanocrystals in a fractal scaffold of high-index semiconductors. This plasmonic-semiconductor fractal media supports the propagation of surface plasmons with drastically enhanced intensity over multiple length scales, overcoming the 2D limitations of established metasurface technologies. The fractal media are used for the fabrication of plasmonic optical gas sensors, achieving a limit of detection of 0.01 vol% at room temperature and sensitivity up to 1.9 nm vol%-1 , demonstrating almost a fivefold increase with respect to an optimized planar geometry. Beneficially to their implementation, the self-assembly mechanism of this fractal architecture allows fabrication of micrometer-thick media over surfaces of several square centimeters in a few seconds. The designable optical features and intrinsic scalability of these photonic fractal metamaterials provide ample opportunities for applications, bridging across transformation optics, sensing, and light harvesting.

Abstract
Directed assembly of nanocrystals from conventional templates suffers from poor control over the periodicity of the nanocrystal assembly, which is largely due to the fact that the template exists prior to the assembly and is not generally adaptive. Herein, small organic molecules (tris-amide triarylamines, TATA) are demonstrated as conceptual templates from self-assembly through noncovalent interactions. The as-formed supramolecular structures with terminated alkyl chains, resembling the structure of as-synthesized nanocrystals capped with alkyl chains, are able to interact with nanocrystals through van der Waals attractive forces, thereby enabling directed assembly of nanocrystals into ordered superlattices. Specifically, it is found that, as determined by the substituted alkyl chains of TATA, either H or J-aggregates of TATA can be achieved, which eventually produce several distinct supramolecular structures, from rods to spindles, to rings, and to spheres, serving as on-pathway intermediate that directs the assembly of nanocrystals into diverse nanocrystal superlattices. The approach described can be applicable to produce ordered nanocrystal assemblies of a wide range of nanocrystals, independent of size and shape and without ligand exchange process. Strikingly, a helical TATA stacking can direct assembly of binary nanocrystal mixtures into NaZn13 binary superhelix.

Abstract
Nanoparticle superlattice assembly has been proposed as an ideal means of programming material properties as a function of hierarchical organization of different building blocks. While many investigations have focused on electromagnetic, optical, and transport behaviors, nanoscale self-assembly via supramolecular interactions is also a potentially desirable method to program material mechanical behavior, as it allows the strength and three-dimensional organization of chemical bonds to be used as handles to manipulate how a material responds to external stress. DNA-grafted nanoparticles are a particularly promising building block for such hierarchically organized materials because of DNA's tunable and nucleobase sequence-specific complementary binding. Using nanoindentation, we show here that the programmability of oligonucleotide interactions allows the modulus of DNA-grafted nanoparticle superlattices to be easily tuned overly nearly 2 orders of magnitude. Additionally, we demonstrate that alterations to the supramolecular bond strength between particles can alter how a lattice deforms under applied mechanical force. As a result, the superlattices can be programmed either to reorganize their internal structures to dissipate mechanical energy or to completely recover their initial structure upon relaxation, independently of how the particles are arranged in 3D space. These behaviors are subsequently explained as a function of the hierarchical structure of the DNA-guided assemblies by using a simple truss-structure model. Altering the supramolecular DNA connections between particles therefore provides a simple and rational means of dictating different aspects of material mechanical response to produce tailorable properties that are not typically observed in conventional bulk materials. Ultimately, these studies enable control over the deformation behavior of future DNA-assembled nanomaterials and provide evidence that supramolecular chemistry is an effective tool in controlling the mechanical properties of nanomaterials as a function of their hierarchical design.

Abstract
Colloidal crystals have emerged as promising candidates for building optical microdevices. Techniques now exist for synthesizing them with control over their nanoscale features (e.g., particle compositions, sizes, shapes, and lattice parameters and symmetry); however, the ability to tune macroscale structural features, such as the relative positions of crystals to one another and lattice orientations, has yet to be realized. Here, inspiration is drawn from epitaxial growth strategies in atomic crystallization, and patterned substrates are prepared that, when used in conjunction with DNA-mediated nanoparticle crystallization, allow for control over individual Wulff-shaped crystal growth, location, and orientation. In addition, the approach allows exquisite control over the patterned substrate/crystal lattice mismatch, something not yet realized for any epitaxy process. This level of structural control is a significant step toward realizing complex, integrated devices with colloidal crystal components, and this approach provides a model system for further exploration in epitaxy systems.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a central metabolite that plays an indispensable role in various cellular processes, from energy supply to cell-to-cell signaling. Nature has developed sophisticated strategies to use the energy stored in ATP for many metabolic and non-equilibrium processes, and to sense and bind ATP for biological signaling. The variations in the ATP concentrations from one organelle to another, from extracellular to intracellular environments, and from normal cells to cancer cells are one motivation for designing ATP-triggered and ATP-fueled systems and materials, because they show great potential for applications in biological systems by using ATP as a trigger or chemical fuel. Over the last decade, ATP has been emerging as an attractive co-assembling component for man-made stimuli-responsive as well as for fuel-driven active systems and materials. Herein, current advances and emerging concepts for ATP-triggered and ATP-fueled self-assemblies and materials are discussed, shedding light on applications and highlighting future developments. By bringing together concepts of different domains, that is from supramolecular chemistry to DNA nanoscience, from equilibrium to non-equilibrium self-assembly, and from fundamental sciences to applications, the aim is to cross-fertilize current approaches with the ultimate aim to bring synthetic ATP-dependent systems closer to living systems.

Abstract
Development of the surface morphology and shape of crystalline nanostructures governs the functionality of various materials, ranging from phonon transport to biocompatibility. However, the kinetic pathways, following which such development occurs, have been largely unexplored due to the lack of real-space imaging at single particle resolution. Here, we use colloidal nanoparticles assembling into supracrystals as a model system, and pinpoint the key role of surface fluctuation in shaping supracrystals. Utilizing liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy, we map the spatiotemporal surface profiles of supracrystals, which follow a capillary wave theory. Based on this theory, we measure otherwise elusive interfacial properties such as interfacial stiffness and mobility, the former of which demonstrates a remarkable dependence on the exposed facet of the supracrystal. The facet of lower surface energy is favored, consistent with the Wulff construction rule. Our imaging–analysis framework can be applicable to other phenomena, such as electrodeposition, nucleation, and membrane deformation. Interfacial fluctuations at the nanoscale, such as shape evolution of a growing crystal, are prohibitively difficult to study experimentally. Here, the authors are able to map the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters involved in shaping of nanoparticle supracrystals by directly imaging the fluctuating crystal surface by liquid-phase TEM, and analyzing it in the context of capillary wave theory.

Abstract
Deterministic assembly of metallic nanoparticles (e.g. gold nanoparticles) into prescribed configurations has promising applications in many fields such as biosensing and drug delivery. DNA-directed bottom-up assembly has demonstrated unparalleled capability to precisely organize metallic nanoparticles into assemblies of designer configurations. However, the fabrication of assemblies comprising delicate nanoparticle arrangements, especially across large dimensions (e.g. micron size), has remained challenging. In this report, we have designed DNA origami hexagon tiles that are capable of assembling into higher-order networks of honeycomb arrays or tubes with dimensions up to several microns. The versatile addressability of the unit tile enables precise and periodic positioning of nanoparticles onto these higher-order DNA origami frame structures. Overall, we have constructed a series of 9 gold nanoparticle architectures with programmable configurations ranging from nanometer-sized clusters to micrometer-sized lattices. We believe these architectures shall hold great application potential in numerous biomedical fields.

Abstract
Gold nanohelices (AuNHs) are synthesized using surfactant-assisted seed-mediated growth in an aqueous solution. AuNHs with diameters and lengths of 30-150 nm and several micrometers, respectively, are grown in a reaction carried out at 15 °C for 20 h by adding poly(ethylene glycol)(12)tridecyl ether, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as the capping agents in an HAuCl4(aq) solution. With the addition of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the reaction, the yield of the helical products is considerably increased, which indicates that AuNPs behave as the seeds for AuNH growth. The growth routes of AuNHs in the system are investigated by transmission electron microscopy measurements. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations show that total extinction of the AuNH at 660 and 570 nm is dominantly influenced by strong e-field enhancement and the scattering of light incidence. In a practical application, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements are conducted using AuNHs as the substrates and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid as the probe. A detection limit of 20 ppb is acquired using a micro-Raman spectrometer using a 633 nm He-Ne laser with a power of 3.35 mW which corresponds with the FDTD simulation results and reveals that AuNHs are superior SERS templates with resonance tuning ability in consequence of their unique helical architectures.
