Abstract
Light-induced self-assembly (LISA) is a non-invasive method for tuning material properties. Photoresponsive ligands coated on the surfaces of nanoparticles are often used to achieve LISA. We report simulation studies for a photoresponsive ligand, azobenzene dithiol (ADT), which switches from a trans-to-cis configuration on exposure to ultraviolet light, allowing self-assembly in ADT-coated gold nanoparticles (NPs). This is attributed to a higher dipole moment of cis-ADT over trans-ADT which leads to a dipole-dipole attraction facilitating self-assembly. Singh and Jha [Comput. Theor. Chem., 2021, 1206, 113492] used quantum-chemistry calculations to quantify the interaction energy of a pair of ADT ligands in their cis and trans conformations. The interaction energy between ligands was fit to a potential energy function of the Lennard-Jones (LJ) form having distinct exponents for attractive and repulsive contributions. Using this generalized equation for the ligand-ligand interaction energy, we calculated the total effective interaction energy between a pair of cis as well as trans ADT-coated NPs. Specifically, we calculated the effective interaction energies between cis/trans-NPs using discrete as well as continuous approaches. Given the limitations of experiments in probing individual ligand conformations, we also studied the effect of varying the functional ligand length on the interaction energy between NPs and identified the optimal functional ligand length to capture the steric and conformational effects. Finally, using the effective interaction energy, we obtained a generalized potential energy function, which was applied in Langevin dynamics simulations to capture self-assembly in NPs.

Abstract
The combination of DNA nanotechnology and Nano Gold (NG) plasmon has opened exciting possibilities for a new generation of functional plasmonic systems that exhibit tailored optical properties and find utility in various applications. In this review, the booming development of dynamic gold nanostructures are summarized, which are formed by DNA self-assembly using DNA-modified NG, DNA frameworks, and various driving forces. The utilization of bottom-up strategies enables precise control over the assembly of reversible and dynamic aggregations, nano-switcher structures, and robotic nanomachines capable of undergoing on-demand, reversible structural changes that profoundly impact their properties. Benefiting from the vast design possibilities, complete addressability, and sub-10 nm resolution, DNA duplexes, tiles, single-stranded tiles and origami structures serve as excellent platforms for constructing diverse 3D reconfigurable plasmonic nanostructures with tailored optical properties. Leveraging the responsive nature of DNA interactions, the fabrication of dynamic assemblies of NG becomes readily achievable, and environmental stimulation can be harnessed as a driving force for the nanomotors. It is envisioned that intelligent DNA-assembled NG nanodevices will assume increasingly important roles in the realms of biological, biomedical, and nanomechanical studies, opening a new avenue toward exploration and innovation.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent advances in leveraging localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) nanotechnology for sensitive cancer biomarker detection. LSPR arising from noble metal nanoparticles under light excitation enables the enhancement of various optical techniques, including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), dark-field microscopy (DFM), photothermal imaging, and photoacoustic imaging. Nanoparticle engineering strategies are discussed to optimize LSPR for maximum signal amplification. SERS utilizes electromagnetic enhancement from plasmonic nanostructures to boost inherently weak Raman signals, enabling single-molecule sensitivity for detecting proteins, nucleic acids, and exosomes. DFM visualizes LSPR nanoparticles based on scattered light color, allowing for the ultrasensitive detection of cancer cells, microRNAs, and proteins. Photothermal imaging employs LSPR nanoparticles as contrast agents that convert light to heat, producing thermal images that highlight cancerous tissues. Photoacoustic imaging detects ultrasonic waves generated by LSPR nanoparticle photothermal expansion for deep-tissue imaging. The multiplexing capabilities of LSPR techniques and integration with microfluidics and point-of-care devices are reviewed. Remaining challenges, such as toxicity, standardization, and clinical sample analysis, are examined. Overall, LSPR nanotechnology shows tremendous potential for advancing cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring through the integration of nanoparticle engineering, optical techniques, and microscale device platforms.

Abstract
The application of machine learning is demonstrated for rapid and accurate extraction of plasmonic particles cluster geometries from hyperspectral image data via a dual variational autoencoder (dual-VAE). In this approach, the information is shared between the latent spaces of two VAEs acting on the particle shape data and spectral data, respectively, but enforcing a common encoding on the shape-spectra pairs. It is shown that this approach can establish the relationship between the geometric characteristics of nanoparticles and their far-field photonic responses, demonstrating that hyperspectral darkfield microscopy can be used to accurately predict the geometry (number of particles, arrangement) of a multiparticle assemblies below the diffraction limit in an automated fashion with high fidelity (for monomers (0.96), dimers (0.86), and trimers (0.58). This approach of building structure-property relationships via shared encoding is universal and should have applications to a broader range of materials science and physics problems in imaging of both molecular and nanomaterial systems.

Abstract
Sequence-defined foldamers that self-assemble into well-defined architectures are promising scaffolds to template inorganic mineralization. However, it has been challenging to achieve robust control of nucleation and growth without sequence redesign or extensive experimentation. Here, peptoid nanotubes functionalized with a panel of solid-binding proteins are used to mineralize homogeneously distributed and monodisperse anatase nanocrystals from the water-soluble TiBALDH precursor. Crystallite size is systematically tuned between 1.4 and 4.4 nm by changing protein coverage and the identity and valency of the genetically engineered solid-binding segments. The approach is extended to the synthesis of gold nanoparticles and, using a protein encoding both material-binding specificities, to the fabrication of titania/gold nanocomposites capable of photocatalysis under visible-light illumination. Beyond uncovering critical roles for hierarchical organization and denticity on solid-binding protein mineralization outcomes, the strategy described herein should prove valuable for the fabrication of hierarchical hybrid materials incorporating a broad range of inorganic components.

Abstract
G-Quadruplexes attract growing interest as functional constituents in biology, chemistry, nanotechnology, and material science. In particular, the reversible dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes provides versatile means to switch DNA nanostructures, reversibly control catalytic functions of DNA assemblies, and switch material properties and functions. The present review article discusses the switchable dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes as central functional and structural motifs that enable diverse applications in DNA nanotechnology and material science. The dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes has a major impact on the development of DNA switches and DNA machines. The integration of G-quadruplexes with enzymes yields supramolecular assemblies exhibiting switchable catalytic functions guided by dynamic G-quadruplex topologies. In addition, G-quadruplexes act as important building blocks to operate constitutional dynamic networks and transient dissipative networks mimicking complex biological dynamic circuitries. Furthermore, the integration of G-quadruplexes with DNA nanostructures, such as origami tiles, introduces dynamic and mechanical features into these static frameworks. Beyond the dynamic operation of G-quadruplex structures in solution, the assembly of G-quadruplexes on bulk surfaces such as electrodes or nanoparticles provides versatile means to engineer diverse electrochemical and photoelectrochemical devices and to switch the dynamic aggregation/deaggregation of nanoparticles, leading to nanoparticle assemblies that reveal switchable optical properties. Finally, the functionalization of hydrogels, hydrogel microcapsules, or nanoparticle carriers, such as SiO2 nanoparticles or metal-organic framework nanoparticles, yields stimuli-responsive materials exhibiting shape-memory, self-healing, and controlled drug release properties. Indeed, G-quadruplex-modified nanomaterials find growing interest in the area of nanomedicine. Beyond the impressive G-quadruplex-based scientific advances achieved to date, exciting future developments are still anticipated. The review addresses these goals by identifying the potential opportunities and challenges ahead of the field in the coming years.

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
Photoresponsive nucleic acids attract growing interest as functional constituents in materials science. Integration of photoisomerizable units into DNA strands provides an ideal handle for the reversible reconfiguration of nucleic acid architectures by light irradiation, triggering changes in the chemical and structural properties of the nanostructures that can be exploited in the development of photoresponsive functional devices such as machines, origami structures and ion channels, as well as environmentally adaptable 'smart' materials including nanoparticle aggregates and hydrogels. Moreover, photoresponsive DNA components allow control over the composition of dynamic supramolecular ensembles that mimic native networks. Beyond this, the modification of nucleic acids with photosensitizer functionality enables these biopolymers to act as scaffolds for spatial organization of electron transfer reactions mimicking natural photosynthesis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of these exciting developments in the design of photoresponsive DNA materials, and showcases a range of applications in catalysis, sensing and drug delivery/release. The key challenges facing the development of the field in the coming years are addressed, and exciting emergent research directions are identified.

Abstract
The self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles to larger structures is of great research interest as it allows the fabrication of novel materials with collective properties correlated to the nanoparticles' individual characteristics. Recently developed methods for controlling nanoparticle organisation have enabled the fabrication of a range of new materials. Amongst these, the assembly of nanoparticles using DNA has attracted significant attention due to the highly selective recognition between complementary DNA strands, DNA nanostructure versatility, and ease of DNA chemical modification. In this review we discuss the application of various chemical DNA modifications and molecular intercalators as tools for the manipulation of DNA-nanoparticle structures. In detail, we discuss how DNA modifications and small molecule intercalators have been employed in the chemical and photochemical DNA ligation in nanostructures; DNA rotaxanes and catenanes associated with reconfigurable nanoparticle assemblies; and DNA backbone modifications including locked nucleic acids, peptide nucleic acids and borane nucleic acids, which affect the stability of nanostructures in complex environments. We conclude by highlighting the importance of maximising the synergy between the communities of DNA chemistry and nanoparticle self-assembly with the aim to enrich the library of tools available for the manipulation of nanostructures.

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
The spatial arrangement of plasmonic nanoparticles can dramatically affect their interaction with electromagnetic waves, which offers an effective approach to systematically control their optical properties and manifest new phenomena. To this end, significant efforts were made to develop methodologies by which the assembly structure of metal nanoparticles can be controlled with high precision. Herein, recent advances in bottom-up chemical strategies toward the well-controlled assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles, including multicomponent and multifunctional systems are reviewed. Further, it is discussed how the progress in this area has paved the way toward the construction of smart dynamic nanostructures capable of on-demand, reversible structural changes that alter their properties in a predictable and reproducible manner. Finally, this review provides insight into the challenges, future directions, and perspectives in the field of controlled plasmonic assemblies.

Abstract
Transient, dissipative, aggregation and deaggregation of Au nanoparticles (NPs) or semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) leading to control over their transient optical properties are introduced. The systems consist of nucleic acid-modified pairs of Au NPs or pairs of CdSe/ZnS QDs, an auxiliary duplex L1/T1, and the nicking enzyme Nt.BbvCI as functional modules yielding transient aggregation/deaggregation of the NPs and dynamically controlling over their optical properties. In the presence of a fuel strand L1', the duplex L1/T1 is separated, leading to the release of T1 and the formation of duplex L1/L1'. The released T1 leads to aggregation of the Au NPs or to the T1-induced G-quadruplex bridged aggregated CdSe/ZnS QDs. Biocatalytic nicking of the L1/L1' duplex fragments L1' and the released L1 displaces T1 bridging the aggregated NPs or QDs, resulting in the dynamic recovery of the original NPs or QDs modules. The dynamic aggregation/deaggregation of the Au NPs is followed by the transient interparticle plasmon coupling spectral changes. The dynamic aggregation/deaggregation of the CdSe/ZnS QDs is probed by following the transient chemiluminescence generated by the hemin/G-quadruplexes bridging the QDs and by the accompanying transient chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer proceeding in the dynamically formed QDs aggregates. A third system demonstrating transient, dissipative, luminescence properties of a reaction module consisting of nucleic acid-stabilized Ag nanoclusters (NCs) is introduced. Transient dynamic formation and depletion of the supramolecular luminescent Ag NCs system via strand displacement accompanied by a nicking process are demonstrated.

Abstract
Modulating optoelectronic properties of inorganic nanostructures tethered with light-responsive molecular switches by their conformational change in the solid state is fundamentally important for advanced nanoscale-device fabrication, specifically in biosensing applications. Herein, we present an entirely new solid-state design approach employing the light-induced reversible conformational change of spiropyran (SP)-merocyanine (MC) covalently attached to gold triangular nanoprisms (Au TNPs) via alkylthiolate self-assembled monolayers to produce a large localized surface plasmon resonance response (∼24 nm). This shift is consistent with the increase in thickness of the local dielectric shell-surrounded TNPs and perhaps short-range dipole-dipole (permanent and induced) interactions between TNPs and the zwitterionic MC form. Water contact angle measurement and Raman spectroscopy characterization unequivocally prove the formation of a stable TNP-MC structural motif. Utilizing this form, we fabricated the first adaptable nanoplasmonic biosensor, which uses an identical structural motif for ultrasensitive, highly specific, and programmable detection of microRNAs and proteins at attomolar concentrations in standard human plasma and urine samples, and at femtomolar concentrations from bladder cancer patient plasma (n = 10) and urine (n = 10), respectively. Most importantly, the TNP-MC structural motif displays a strong binding affinity with receptor molecules (i.e., single-stranded DNA and antibody) producing a highly stable biosensor. Taken together, the TNP-MC structural motif represents a multifunctional super biosensor with the potential to expand clinical diagnostics through simplifying biosensor design and providing highly accurate disease diagnosis.

Abstract
We synthesize and characterize a triblock polymer with asymmetric tetramethoxyazobenzene (TMAB) and β-cyclodextrin functionalization, taking advantage of the well-characterized azobenzene derivative-cyclodextrin inclusion complex to promote photoresponsive, self-contained folding of the polymer in an aqueous system. We use 1H NMR to show the reversibility of (E)-to-(Z) and (Z)-to-(E) TMAB photoisomerization, and evaluate the thermal stability of (Z)-TMAB and the comparatively rapid acid-catalyzed thermal (Z)-to-(E) isomerization. Important for its potential use as a functional material, we show the photoisomerization cyclability of the polymeric TMAB chromophore and calculate isomerization quantum yields by extinction spectroscopy. To verify self-inclusion of the polymeric TMAB and cyclodextrin, we use two-dimensional 1H NOESY NMR data to show proximity of TMAB and cyclodextrin in the (E)-state only; however, (Z)-TMAB is not locally correlated with cyclodextrin. Finally, the observed decrease in photoisomerization quantum yield for the dual-functionalized polymer compared to the isolated chromophore in an aqueous solution confirms TMAB and β-cyclodextrin not only are in proximity to one another, but also form the inclusion complex.

Stimuli-responsive designs with exogenous stimuli enable remote and reversible control of DNA nanostructures, which break many limitations of static nanostructures and inspired development of dynamic DNA nanotechnology. Moreover, the introduction of various types of organic molecules, polymers, chemical bonds, and chemical reactions with stimuli-responsive properties development has greatly expand the application scope of dynamic DNA nanotechnology.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The ability to control the assembly of micro/nanosized particles at liquid-liquid interface with external inputs promises new opportunities in nanofabrication and biomedicines. This work aims to demonstrate a way to control of dynamic assembly of nanoparticles at liquid-liquid interface by light and magnetic field, which consequently enables the formation of dynamic emulsion droplets. EXPERIMENTS Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles functionalized with azobenzene moieties (Fe3O4@AZO) were synthesized and were dispersed in toluene/(N,N-dimethylformamide, DMF) binary solvent. After irradiation with UV or visible light, the assembly behavior of these Fe3O4 nanoparticles were evaluated by electron microscopy and fluorescent microscopy. FINDINGS Under UV light, Fe3O4@AZO nanoparticles were self-assembled due to the increase of dipolar interaction from the photoisomerization of azobenzene and polar molecules, DMF, were harvested from a binary solvent of DMF/toluene. While under visible light, a relief of dipolar interactions between Fe3O4@AZO nanoparticles can induce the secondary assembly of these Fe3O4@AZO nanoparticles at DMF-toluene interface, resulting in DMF droplets covered by a layer of nanoparticle superlattices. More importantly, coupled with a magnetic field, these emulsion droplets can be shaped into one dimensional ones during the interfacial assembly process, thereby giving rise to dynamic emulsions controlled by light and magnetic field.

Abstract
In this review article, various methods for the light-induced manipulation of plasmonic nanoobjects are described, and some sample applications of this process are presented. The methods of the photo-induced nanomanipulation analyzed include methods based on: the light-induced isomerization of some compounds attached to the surface of the manipulated object causing formation of electrostatic, host-guest or covalent bonds or other structural changes, the photo-response of a thermo-responsive material attached to the surface of the manipulated nanoparticles, and the photo-catalytic process enhanced by the coupled plasmons in manipulated nanoobjects. Sample applications of the process of the photo-aggregation of plasmonic nanosystems are also presented, including applications in surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopies, catalysis, chemical analysis, biomedicine, and more. A detailed comparative analysis of the methods that have been applied so far for the light-induced manipulation of nanostructures may be useful for researchers planning to enter this fascinating field.

Abstract
The detection of biomarkers is critical for enabling early disease diagnosis, monitoring the progression, and tracking the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention. Plasmonic sensors exhibit a broad range of analytical capabilities, from the rapid generation of colorimetric readouts to single-molecule sensitivity in ultralow sample volumes, which have led to their increased exploration in bioanalysis and point-of-care applications. This perspective presents selected accounts of recent developments on the different types of plasmonic sensing platforms, the pervasive challenges, and outlook on the pathway to translation. We highlight the sensing of upcoming biomarkers, including microRNA, circulating tumor cells, exosomes, and cell-free DNA, and discuss the opportunity of utilizing plasmonic nanomaterials and tools for biomarker detection beyond biofluids, such as in tissues, organs, and disease sites. The integration of plasmonic biosensors with established and upcoming technologies of instrumentation, sample pretreatment, and data analysis will help realize their translation to clinical settings for improving healthcare and enhancing the quality of life.

Abstract
The ability to reversibly assemble nanoparticles using light is both fundamentally interesting and important for applications ranging from reversible data storage to controlled drug delivery. Here, the diverse approaches that have so far been developed to control the self-assembly of nanoparticles using light are reviewed and compared. These approaches include functionalizing nanoparticles with monolayers of photoresponsive molecules, placing them in photoresponsive media capable of reversibly protonating the particles under light, and decorating plasmonic nanoparticles with thermoresponsive polymers, to name just a few. The applicability of these methods to larger, micrometer-sized particles is also discussed. Finally, several perspectives on further developments in the field are offered.

Abstract
Monolayer thiol-protected noble metal nanoclusters are attractive nanoscale building blocks for well-defined colloidal superstructures. However, achieving facile reversible self-assembly of nanoclusters using external stimuli is still in its infancy. Herein, we report the synthesis and photon-assisted reversible self-assembly of thiolated azobenzene-stapled Au25 nanoclusters. Photoactivation of functionalized nanoclusters in dichloromethane by irradiating ultraviolet light at 345 nm results in a visual change and formation of disc-like colloidal superstructures (d ∼ 100-1000 nm). The superstructures readily disassemble into individual nanoclusters upon irradiating with visible light at 435 nm. Systematic changes in both the electronic absorption bands and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of chromophores in solution suggest that the photoisomerization of surface ligands drives the self-assembly. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron tomographic reconstruction, dynamic light scattering, and small-angle X-ray powder diffraction show that the disc-like superstructures contain densely packed nanoclusters. Long-range self-assembly and disassembly under ultraviolet and visible light, respectively, demonstrate reversible photoswitching in nanoclusters.

Abstract
A novel method for synthesizing and photopatterning colloidal crystals via light-responsive DNA is developed. These crystals are composed of 10-30 nm gold nanoparticles interconnected with azobenzene-modified DNA strands. The photoisomerization of the azobenzene molecules leads to reversible assembly and disassembly of the base-centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline nanoparticle lattices. In addition, UV light is used as a trigger to selectively remove nanoparticles on centimeter-scale thin films of colloidal crystals, allowing them to be photopatterned into preconceived shapes. The design of the azobenzene-modified linking DNA is critical and involves complementary strands, with azobenzene moieties deliberately staggered between the bases that define the complementary code. This results in a tunable wavelength-dependent melting temperature (Tm ) window (4.5-15 °C) and one suitable for affecting the desired transformations. In addition to the isomeric state of the azobenzene groups, the size of the particles can be used to modulate the Tm window over which these structures are light-responsive.

Abstract
Under an applied magnetic field, superparamagnetic Fe3 O4 nanoparticles with complementary DNA strands assemble into crystalline, pseudo-1D elongated superlattice structures. The assembly process is driven through a combination of DNA hybridization and particle dipolar coupling, a property dependent on particle composition, size, and interparticle distance. The DNA controls interparticle distance and crystal symmetry, while the magnetic field leads to anisotropic crystal growth. Increasing the dipole interaction between particles by increasing particle size or external field strength leads to a preference for a particular crystal morphology (e.g., rhombic dodecahedra, stacked clusters, and smooth rods). Molecular dynamics simulations show that an understanding of both DNA hybridization energetic and magnetic interactions is required to predict the resulting crystal morphology. Taken together, the data show that applied magnetic fields with magnetic nanoparticles can be deliberately used to access nanostructures beyond what is possible with DNA hybridization alone.

Abstract
Nanoparticles functionalized with DNA can assemble into ordered superlattices with defined crystal habits through programmable DNA "bonds". Here, we examine the interactions of multivalent cations with these DNA bonds as a chemical approach for actuating colloidal superlattices. Multivalent cations alter DNA structure on the molecular scale, enabling the DNA "bond length" to be reversibly altered between 17 and 3 nm, ultimately leading to changes in the overall dimensions of the micrometer-sized superlattice. The identity, charge, and concentration of the cations each control the extent of actuation, with Ni2+ capable of inducing a remarkable >65% reversible change in crystal volume. In addition, these cations can increase "bond strength", as evidenced by superlattice thermal stability enhancements of >60 °C relative to systems without multivalent cations. Molecular dynamics simulations provide insight into the conformational changes in DNA structure as the bond length approaches 3 nm and show that cations that screen the negative charge on the DNA backbone more effectively cause greater crystal contraction. Taken together, the use of multivalent cations represents a powerful strategy to alter superlattice structure and stability, which can impact diverse applications through dynamic control of material properties, including the optical, magnetic, and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructures possessing unique and versatile optoelectronic properties have been vastly investigated over the past decade. However, the full potential of plasmonic nanostructure has not yet been fully exploited, particularly with single-component homogeneous structures with monotonic properties, and the addition of new components for making multicomponent nanoparticles may lead to new-yet-unexpected or improved properties. Here we define the term "multi-component nanoparticles" as hybrid structures composed of two or more condensed nanoscale domains with distinctive material compositions, shapes, or sizes. We reviewed and discussed the designing principles and synthetic strategies to efficiently combine multiple components to form hybrid nanoparticles with a new or improved plasmonic functionality. In particular, it has been quite challenging to precisely synthesize widely diverse multicomponent plasmonic structures, limiting realization of the full potential of plasmonic heterostructures. To address this challenge, several synthetic approaches have been reported to form a variety of different multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles, mainly based on heterogeneous nucleation, atomic replacements, adsorption on supports, and biomolecule-mediated assemblies. In addition, the unique and synergistic features of multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles, such as combination of pristine material properties, finely tuned plasmon resonance and coupling, enhanced light-matter interactions, geometry-induced polarization, and plasmon-induced energy and charge transfer across the heterointerface, were reported. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest advances on state-of-art synthetic strategies, unique properties, and promising applications of multicomponent plasmonic nanoparticles. These plasmonic nanoparticles including heterostructured nanoparticles and composite nanostructures are prepared by direct synthesis and physical force- or biomolecule-mediated assembly, which hold tremendous potential for plasmon-mediated energy transfer, magnetic plasmonics, metamolecules, and nanobiotechnology.

Abstract
The interactions between metal ions and biomolecules are crucial to various bioprocesses. Development of plasmon switching nanodevices that exploit these molecular interactions is of fundamental and technological interest. Here, we show plasmon switching based on rapid aggregation/dispersion of double-stranded DNA-modified gold nanorods (dsDNA-AuNRs) that exhibit colloidal behaviors depending on pairing/unpairing of the terminal bases. The dsDNA-AuNRs bearing a thymine-thymine (T-T) mismatch at the penultimate position undergo spontaneous non-cross-linking aggregation in the presence of Hg2+ due to T-Hg-T base pairing. Inversely, the subsequent addition of cysteine (Cys) gives rise to the removal of Hg2+ from the T-Hg-T base pair to reproduce the T-T mismatch, resulting in stable dispersion of the dsDNA-AuNRs. The chemical-responsive plasmon switch allows for the rapid and repeatable cycles at room temperature. The validity of the present method is further exemplified by developing another plasmon switch fueled by Ag+ and Cys by installing the Ag+-binding DNA sequence in the dsDNA-AuNR.

Abstract
Dynamic and reconfigurable systems that can sense and react to physical and chemical signals are ubiquitous in nature and are of great interest in diverse areas of science and technology. DNA is a powerful tool for fabricating such smart materials and devices due to its programmable and responsive molecular recognition properties. For the past couple of decades, DNA-based self-assembly is actively explored to fabricate various DNA-organic and DNA-inorganic hybrid nanostructures with high-precision structural control. Building upon past development, researchers have recently begun to design and assemble dynamic nanostructures that can undergo an on-demand transformation in the structure, properties, and motion in response to various external stimuli. In this Review, recent advances in dynamic DNA nanostructures, focusing on hybrid structures fabricated from DNA-conjugated molecules, polymers, and nanoparticles, are introduced, and their potential applications and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Nucleic acid-based constitutional dynamic networks (CDNs) attract growing interest as a means to mimic complex biological networks. The triggered stabilization of the CDNs allows the dictated guided reversible reconfiguration and re-equilibration of the CDNs to other CDN configurations, where some of the constituents are up-regulated, while other constituents are down-regulated. Although substantial progress in controlling the adaptive dynamic control of the compositions of networks by means of auxiliary triggers was demonstrated, the use of CDNs as active ensembles for controlling chemical functionalities is still a challenge. We report on the assembly of signal-triggered CDN systems that guide the switchable aggregation of Au nanoparticles (NPs), thereby controlling their plasmonic properties and their catalytic functions (Au NPs-catalyzed oxidation of l-DOPA to dopachrome). In addition, we demonstrate that the triggered and orthogonal up-regulation and down-regulation of the constituents of the CDNs leads to the dictated aggregation of different-sized CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), cross-linked by K+-ion-stabilized G-quadruplex units. The incorporation of hemin into the G-quadruplex cross-linking units yields horseradish peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme units that catalyze the generation of chemiluminescence via the oxidation of luminol by H2O2. The resulting chemiluminescence stimulates the chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) process to the QDs, resulting in the luminescence of the two-sized QDs. By the application of appropriate triggers, the CDN-dictated up-regulation and down-regulation of the different-sized QDs aggregates are demonstrated, and the control over the photophysical functions of the different-sized QDs, by means of the CDNs, is highlighted.

Abstract
![]()
The ability to dynamically tune the
self-assembled structures of
nanoparticles is of significant interest in the fields of chemistry
and material studies. However, it continues to be challenging to dynamically
tune the chiral superstructures of nanoparticles and actively switch
the chiral optical properties thereof. Here, we dynamically controlled
a gold nanorod 3D chiral plasmonic superstructure (a stair helix with
a pinwheel end view) templated by a DNA origami supramolecular polymer,
using DNA-toehold-mediated conformational change in the DNA template.
The gold nanorod chiral plasmonic helix was controllably reconfigured
between a tightly folded state (with a small inter-rod angle) and
an extended state (with a wide inter-rod angle) of the same handedness,
or between two mirror-image-like structures of opposite handedness.
As a result, the chiral plasmonic properties of the gold nanorod helix
superstructures, in terms of the circular dichroism amplitude, peak
response frequency, and signature of chirality, were actively switched
upon the DNA-guided structural reconfiguration. We envision that the
strategy demonstrated here will boost the advancement of reconfigurable
chiral materials with increased complexity for active light control
applications through rational molecular design and predictable self-assembly
procedures.

Abstract
Controlled conjugation of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) with DNA and subsequent fabrication of the CDs into an array through hybridization mediated self-assembly in the solution phase is reported. Covalent conjugation of CD with DNA and the subsequent array formation change the mobility of the CD-DNA array in gel electrophoresis and HPLC significantly. Interspatial distance in the CD-DNA array is tuned by the DNA sequence length and maintained at ∼8 ± 0.3 nm as revealed by electron microscopy studies. An increase in fluorescence lifetime by ∼2 ns was observed for the CD-DNA array compared to a solitary CD, vis-á-vis better imaging prospects of HEK293 cells by the former. Thus, the array displays improved fluorescence and unhindered cell penetration.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the photoregulation of biological functions, due to the high level of spatiotemporal precision achievable with light. Additionally, light is non-invasive and waste-free. In particular, the photoregulation of oligonucleotide structure and function is a rapidly developing study field with relevance to biological, physical and material sciences. Molecular photoswitches have been incorporated in oligonucleotides for 20 years, and the field has currently grown beyond fundamental studies on photochemistry of the switches and DNA duplex stability, and is moving towards applications in chemical biology, nanotechnology and material science. Moreover, the currently emerging field of photopharmacology indicates the relevance of photocontrol in future medicine. In recent years, a large number of publications has appeared on photoregulation of DNA and RNA structure and function. New strategies are evaluated and novel, exciting applications are shown. In this comprehensive review, the key strategies for photoswitch inclusion in oligonucleotides are presented and illustrated with recent examples. Additionally the applications that have emerged in recent years are discussed, including gene regulation, drug delivery and materials design. Finally, we identify the challenges that the field currently faces and look forward to future applications.

Abstract
The interaction between light and matter can be controlled efficiently by structuring materials at a length scale shorter than the wavelength of interest. With the goal to build optical devices that operate at the nanoscale, plasmonics has established itself as a discipline, where near-field effects of electromagnetic waves created in the vicinity of metallic surfaces can give rise to a variety of novel phenomena and fascinating applications. As research on plasmonics has emerged from the optics and solid-state communities, most laboratories employ top-down lithography to implement their nanophotonic designs. In this review, we discuss the recent, successful efforts of employing self-assembled DNA nanostructures as scaffolds for creating advanced plasmonic architectures. DNA self-assembly exploits the base-pairing specificity of nucleic acid sequences and allows for the nanometer-precise organization of organic molecules but also for the arrangement of inorganic particles in space. Bottom-up self-assembly thus bypasses many of the limitations of conventional fabrication methods. As a consequence, powerful tools such as DNA origami have pushed the boundaries of nanophotonics and new ways of thinking about plasmonic designs are on the rise.

Abstract
We synthesize and characterize stimulus-responsive nanocomposites consisting of poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) with controlled loadings of anisotropic plate-like silver nanoprisms. These composites show strong, reversible switching of their optical extinction and scattering properties in response to temperature cycling. We use UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering to characterize the hybrids and show that the loading density of the silver nanoprisms in the polymer and the size of the nanoprisms are both factors that can be used to tailor the optical response of the composites, extending the range of colors beyond that previously reported with PNIPAM/plasmonic nanoparticle composites. These PNIPAM/silver nanoprism hybrids exhibit thermochromic shifts that are 5-10 times larger than those typically reported for similar structures of PNIPAM composites with silver nanoparticles of a comparable range of loading density. In addition, we show that these composites can exhibit very large ratiometric changes in scattering in the NIR, which could open applications for related materials in thermal management and NIR labeling and taggants.

Abstract
Contemporary chemical and material engineering often takes inspiration from nature, targeting for example strong yet light materials and materials composed of highly ordered domains at multiple different lengthscales for fundamental science and applications in e.g. sensing, catalysis, coating technology, and delivery. The preparation of such hierarchically structured functional materials through guided bottom-up assembly of synthetic building blocks requires a high level of control over their synthesis, interactions and assembly pathways. In this perspective we showcase recent work demonstrating how molecular control can be exploited to direct colloidal assembly into responsive materials with mechanical, optical or electrical properties that can be adjusted post-synthesis with external cues.

Abstract
To tailor the properties of colloidal materials, precise control over the self-assembly of their constituents is a prerequisite. Here, we govern the assembly of silica particles by functionalization with supramolecular moieties which interact with each other via directional and reversible hydrogen bonding. Through a generally applicable synthesis protocol, two different types of self-complementary hydrogen bonding moieties, BTA- and UPy-derivatives, are anchored to silica particles. Their self-assembly is initiated by the UV-induced removal of a photolabile protecting group, allowing the formation of hydrogen bonds between tethered molecules. The light-induced assembly of BTA- and UPy-decorated colloids in single-component dispersions and colloidal self-sorting in mixed dispersions is studied. Furthermore, we demonstrate that UPy-colloids can dissasemble upon addition of traces of a competitive binder (NaPy). This work provides further insight into the utility of supramolecular handles to orchestrate the assembly of micron-sized colloids via non-oligonucleotide hydrogen-bonding units.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated with responsive polymers gained considerable interest due to their controllable size, good stability, and fast environmental response suitable for biological applications and sensing. Here we report on a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of stable and redox responsive AuNPs using organometallic polyelectrolytes in aqueous solutions of HAuCl4. In the redox reaction, positively or negatively charged poly(ferrocenylsilanes) (PFS+/PFS-) served as reducing agents, and also as stabilizing polymers. Due to their unique tunable electrostatic and electrosteric protection, AuNPs coated with PFS-, (PFS+)@AuNPs, possess high redox sensitivity, with reversible, repetitive, sustainable color switching between the assembled (purple color) and disassembled (red color) states as evidenced by UV-Vis absorption and TEM measurements. Feasibility studies reported here indicate that the particles described can be applied as a colorimetric probe for the detection of redox molecules, e.g. vitamin C, in a controlled and facile manner.

Abstract
To meet the increasing demands for ultrasensitivity in monitoring trace amounts of low-abundance early biomarkers or environmental toxins, the development of a robust sensing system is urgently needed. Here, a novel signal cascade strategy is reported via an ultrasensitive polymeric sensing system (UPSS) composed of gold nanoparticle (gNP)-decorated polymer, which enables gNP aggregation in polymeric network and electrical conductance change upon specific aptamer-based biomolecular recognition. Ultralow concentrations of thrombin (10-18 m) as well as a low molecular weight anatoxin (165 Da, 10-14 m) are detected selectively and reproducibly. The biomolecular recognition induced polymeric network shrinkage responses as well as dose-dependent responses of the UPSS are validated using in situ real-time atomic-force microscopy, representing the first instance of real-time detection of biomolecular binding-induced polymer shrinkage in soft matter. Furthermore, in situ real-time confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging reveals the dynamic process of gNP aggregation responses upon biomolecular binding.

Abstract
Photo-switching of the NIR emission of gold nanoparticles (GNP) upon photo-isomerization of azobenzene ligands, bound to the surface, is demonstrated. Photophysical results confirm the occurrence of an excitation energy transfer process from the ligands to the GNP that produces sensitized NIR emission. Because of this process, the excitation efficiency of the gold core, upon excitation of the ligands, is much higher for the trans form than for the cis one, and t→c photo-isomerization causes a relevant decrease of the GNP NIR emission. As a consequence, photo-isomerization can be monitored by ratiometric detection of the NIR emission upon dual excitation. The photo-isomerization process was followed in real-time through the simultaneous detection of absorbance and luminescence changes using a dedicated setup. Surprisingly, the photo-isomerization rate of the ligands, bound to the GNP surface, was the same as measured for the chromophores in solution. This outcome demonstrated that excitation energy transfer to gold assists photo-isomerization, rather than competing with it. These results pave the road to the development of new, NIR-emitting, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials for theranostics.

Abstract
Azobenzene incorporated into DNA has a photoisomerization quantum yield that depends on the DNA sequence near the azobenzene attachment site. We use Molecular Dynamics computer simulations to elucidate which physical properties of the modified DNA determine the quantum yield. We show for a wide range of DNA sequences that the photoisomerization quantum yield is strongly correlated with the variance of the number of atoms in close proximity to the outer phenyl ring of the azobenzene group. We infer that quantum yield is controlled by the availability of fluctuations that enable the conformational change. We demonstrate that these simulations can be used as a qualitative predictive tool by calculating the quantum yield for several novel DNA sequences, and confirming these predictions using UV-vis spectroscopy. Our results will be useful for the development of a wide range of applications of photoresponsive DNA nanotechnology.

Abstract
We present a novel approach to reversibly control the assembly of liposomes through an anchored multistimuli responsive DNA oligonucleotide decorated with an azobenzene moiety (AZO-ON1). We show that liposomes assembly can be simultaneously controlled by three external stimuli: light, Mg(2+), and temperature. (i) Light alters the interaction of AZO-ON1 with liposomes, which influences DNA coating and consequently liposomes assembly. (ii) Mg(2+) induces the assembly, hence variation in its concentration enables for reversibility. (iii) Double-stranded AZO-ON1 is more efficient than single-stranded AZO-ON1 in triggering the assembly of liposomes and temperature has been used for controllable assembly through DNA thermal denaturation. Our multiresponsive AZO-ON1 represents a unique example in which multiple stimuli can be simultaneously applied to regulate the reversible assembly of liposomes.

Abstract
Two-photon initiated photo-isomerization of an azobenzene moiety adsorbed on silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) is demonstrated. The azobenzene is linked to a materials-binding peptide that brings it into intimate contact with the Ag NP surface, producing a dramatic enhancement of its two-photon absorbance. An integrated modeling approach, combining advanced conformational sampling with Quantum Mechanics/Capacitance Molecular Mechanics and response theory, shows that charge transfer and image charges in the Ag NP generate local fields that enhance two-photon absorption of the cis isomer, but not the trans isomer, of adsorbed molecules. Moreover, dramatic local field enhancement is expected near the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelength, and the LSPR band of the Ag NPs overlaps the azobenzene absorbance that triggers cis to trans switching. As a result, the Ag NPs enable two-photon initiated cis to trans isomerization, but not trans to cis isomerization. Confocal anti-Stokes fluorescence imaging shows that this effect is not due to local heating, while the quadratic dependence of switching rate on laser intensity is consistent with a two-photon process. Highly localized two-photon initiated switching could allow local manipulation near the focal point of a laser within a 3D nanoparticle assembly, which cannot be achieved using linear optical processes.
