Abstract
The performance of Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy depends critically on the fluorescent probe. Ultrasmall Au nanoclusters (Au NCs) exhibit large Stokes shift, and good stimulated emission response, which are potentially useful for STED imaging. However, Au NCs are polydispersed in size, sensitive to the surrounding environment, and difficult to control surface functional group stoichiometry, which results in reduced density and high heterogeneity in the labeling of biological structures. Here, this limitation is overcome by developing a method to encapsulate ultrasmall Au NCs with DNA cages, which yielded monodispersed, and monofunctionalized Au NCs that are long-term stable. Moreover, the DNA-caging also greatly improved the fluorescence quantum yield and photostability of Au NCs. In STED imaging, the DNA-caged Au NCs yielded ≈40 nm spatial resolution and are able to resolve microtubule line shapes with good labeling density and homogeneity. In contrast, without caging, the Au NCs-DNA conjugates only achieved ≈55 nm resolution and yielded spotted, poorly resolved microtubule structures, due to the presence of aggregates. Overall, a method is developed to achieve precise surface functionalization and greatly improve the monodispersity, stability, as well as optical properties of Au NCs, providing a promising class of fluorescent probes for STED imaging.

Abstract
Background While nanoplatform-based cancer theranostics have been researched and investigated for many years, enhancing antitumor efficacy and reducing toxic side effects is still an essential problem. Methods We exploited nanoparticle coordination between ferric (Fe2+) ions and telomerase-targeting hairpin DNA structures to encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX) and fabricated Fe2+-DNA@DOX nanoparticles (BDDF NPs). This work studied the NIR fluorescence imaging and pharmacokinetic studies targeting the ability and biodistribution of BDDF NPs. In vitro and vivo studies investigated the nano formula's toxicity, imaging, and synergistic therapeutic effects. Results The enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect and tumor targeting resulted in prolonged blood circulation times and high tumor accumulation. Significantly, BDDF NPs could reduce DOX-mediated cardiac toxicity by improving the antioxidation ability of cardiomyocytes based on the different telomerase activities and iron dependency in normal and tumor cells. The synergistic treatment efficacy is enhanced through Fe2+-mediated ferroptosis and the β-catenin/p53 pathway and improved the tumor inhibition rate. Conclusion Harpin DNA-based nanoplatforms demonstrated prolonged blood circulation, tumor drug accumulation via telomerase-targeting, and synergistic therapy to improve antitumor drug efficacy. Our work sheds new light on nanomaterials for future synergistic chemotherapy.

Abstract
Size selectivity is crucial in highly accurate preparation of biosensors. Herein, we described an innovative electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform based on the confined DNA tetrahedral molecular sieve (DTMS) for size-selective recognition of nucleic acids and small biological molecule. Firstly, DNA template (T) was encapsulated into the inner cavity of DNA tetrahedral scaffold (DTS) and hybridized with quencher (Fc) labeled probe DNA to prepare DTMS, accordingly inducing Ru(bpy)32+ and Fc closely proximate, resulting the sensor in a "signal-off" state. Afterwards, target molecules entered the cavity of DTMS to realize the size-selective molecular recognition while prohibiting large molecules outside of the DTMS, resulting the sensor in a "signal-on" state due to the release of Fc. The rigid framework structure of DTS and the anchor of DNA probe inside the DTS effectively avoided the nuclease degradation of DNA probe, and nonspecific protein adsorption, making the sensor possess potential application prospect for size-selective molecular recognition in diagnostic analysis with high accuracy and specificity.

Abstract
Supramolecular vessels emerged as tools to mimic and better understand compartmentalisation, a central aspect of living matter. However, many more applications that go beyond those initial goals have been documented in recent years, including new sensory systems, artificial transmembrane transporters, catalysis, and targeted drug or gene delivery. Peptides, carbohydrates, nucleobases, and steroids bear great potential as building blocks for the construction of supramolecular vessels, possessing complexity that is still difficult to attain with synthetic methods - they are rich in functional groups and well-defined stereogenic centers, ready for noncovalent interactions and further functions. One of the options to tame the functional and dynamic complexity of natural building blocks is to place them at spatially designed positions using synthetic scaffolds. In this review, we summarise the historical and recent advances in the construction of molecular-sized vessels by the strategy that couples synthetic predictability and durability of various scaffolds (cyclodextrins, porphyrins, crown ethers, calix[n]arenes, resorcin[n]arenes, pillar[n]arenes, cyclotriveratrylenes, coordination frameworks and multivalent high-symmetry molecules) with functionality originating from natural building blocks to obtain nanocontainers, cages, capsules, cavitands, carcerands or coordination cages by covalent chemistry, self-assembly, or dynamic covalent chemistry with the ultimate goal to apply them in sensing, transport, or catalysis.

Abstract
The detection of biomolecules at the single molecule level has important applications in the fields of biosensing and biomedical diagnosis. The solid-state nanopore (SS nanopore) is a sensitive tool for detecting single molecules because of its unique label-free and low sample consumption properties. SS nanopore translocation of small biomolecules is typically driven by an electronic field force and is thus influenced by the charge, shape, and size of the target molecules. Therefore, it remains challenging to control the translocation of biomolecules through SS nanopores, particularly for different proteins with complex conformations and unique charges. Toward this problem, a DNA polyhedral carrier coating strategy to assist protein translocation through SS nanopores is developed, which facilitates target protein detection. The current signal-to-noise ratios are improved significantly using this DNA carrier loading strategy. The proposed method should aid the detection of proteins, which are difficult to translocate through nanopores. This coating-assisted method offers a wide range of applications for SS nanopore detection and promotes the development of single-molecule detection.

Abstract
The DNA frame structure as a natural shell to stably shield the sequence-templated Ag nanocluster core (csAgNC) is intriguing yet challenging for applicable fluorescence biosensing, for which the elaborate programming of a cluster scaffold inside a DNA-based cage to guide csAgNC nucleation might be crucial. Herein, we report the first design of a symmetric tetrahedral DNA nanocage (TDC) that was self-assembled in a one-pot process using a C-rich csAgNC template strand and four single strands. Inside the as-constructed soft TDC architecture, the template sequence was logically bridged from one side to another, not in the same face, thereby guiding the in situ synthesis of emissive csAgNC. Because of the strong electron-repulsive capability of the negatively charged TDC, the as-formed csAgNC displayed significantly improved fluorescence stability and superb spectral behavior. By incorporating the recognizable modules of targeted microRNAs (miRNAs) in one vertex of the TDC, an updated TDC (uTDC) biosensing platform was established via the photoinduced electron transfer effect between the emissive csAgNC reporter and hemin/G-quadruplex (hG4) conjugate. Because of the target-interrupted csAgNC switching in three states with the spatial proximity and separation to hG4, an "on-off-on" fluorescing signal response was executed, thus achieving a wide linear range to miRNAs and a limit of detection down to picomoles. Without complicated chemical modifications, this simpler and more cost-effective strategy offered accurate cell imaging of miRNAs, further suggesting possible therapeutic applications.

Abstract
How far we can push chemical self-assembly is one of the most important scientific questions of the century. Colloidal self-assembly is a bottom-up technique for the rational design of functional materials with desirable collective properties. Due to the programmability of DNA base pairing, surface modification of colloidal particles with DNA has become fundamental for programmable material self-assembly. However, there remains an ever-lasting demand for surface regioselective encoding to realize assemblies that require specific, directional, and orthogonal interactions. Recent advances in surface chemistry have enabled regioselective control over the formation of DNA bonds on the particle surface. In particular, the structural DNA nanotechnology provides a simple yet powerful design strategy with unique regioselective addressability, bringing the complexity of colloidal self-assembly to an unprecedented level. In this review, we summarize the state-of-art advances in DNA-mediated regioselective surface encoding of colloids, with a focus on how the regioselective encoding is introduced and how the regioselective DNA recognition plays a crucial role in the self-assembly of colloidal structures. This review highlights the advantages of DNA-based regioselective modification in improving the complexity of colloidal assembly, and outlines the challenges and opportunities for the construction of more complex architectures with tailored functionalities.

Abstract
DNA-modified nanoparticles enable DNA sensing and therapeutics in nanomedicine and are also crucial for nanoparticle self-assembly with DNA-based materials. However, methods to conjugate DNA to nanoparticle surfaces are limited, inefficient, and lack control. Inspired by DNA tile nanotechnology, we demonstrate a new approach to nanoparticle modification based on electrostatic attraction between negatively charged DNA tiles and positively charged nanoparticles. This approach does not disrupt nanoparticle surfaces and leverages the programmability of DNA nanotechnology to control DNA presentation. We demonstrated this approach using a vareity of nanoparticles, including polymeric micelles, polystyrene beads, gold nanoparticles, and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 5-20 nm in diameter. DNA cage formation was confirmed through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), neutralization of zeta potential, and a series of fluorescence experiments. DNA cages present "handle" sequences that can be used for reversible target attachment or self-assembly. Handle functionality was verified in solution, at the solid-liquid interface, and inside fixed cells, corresponding to applications in biosensing, DNA microarrays, and erasable immunocytochemistry. These experiments demonstrate the versatility of the electrostatic DNA caging approach and provide a new pathway to nanoparticle modification with DNA that will empower further applications of these materials in medicine and materials science.

Abstract
Creation of architectures with exquisite hierarchies actuates the germination of revolutionized functions and applications across a wide range of fields. Hierarchical self-assembly of colloidal particles holds the promise for materialized realization of structural programing and customizing. This review outlines the general approaches to organize atom-like micro- and nanoparticles into prescribed colloidal analogs of molecules by exploiting diverse interparticle driving motifs involving confining templates, interactive surface ligands, and flexible shape/surface anisotropy. Furthermore, the self-regulated/adaptive co-assembly of simple unvarnished building blocks is discussed to inspire new designs of colloidal assembly strategies.

Abstract
Ligand-functionalized plasmonic nanoparticles have been widely used for targeted imaging in living systems. However, ligand presentation and encoding on the nanoparticle's surface in a stoichiometrically controllable manner remains a great challenge. Herein, we propose a method to construct ligand-engineered plasmonic nanoprobes by using nanoparticle encapsulation with topological DNA tetrahedrons, which enables the programmed ligand loading for precise regulation of targeting efficiency of nanoprobes in biorelated applications. With this method, we demonstrated the preparation of functionalized plasmonic nanoprobes by programmed loading of RGD peptides and aptamers onto the DNA tetrahedron encapsulated gold nanoparticles with controllable stoichiometric ratios. The cell imaging and particle counting assays suggested that the targeting efficiency of the nanoprobes could be readily modulated by tailoring the number and stoichiometric ratios of the loaded ligands, respectively. It can be anticipated that this robust strategy could provide new opportunities for the construction of efficacious nanoprobes and delivery systems for versatile bioapplications.

Abstract
Natural polymeric scaffolds can be used for tissue engineering applications such as cell delivery and cell-free supporting of native tissues. This is because of their desirable properties such as; high biocompatibility, tunable mechanical strength and conductivity, large surface area, porous- and extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicked structures. Specifically, their less toxicity and biocompatibility makes them suitable for several tissue engineering applications. For these reasons, several biopolymeric scaffolds are currently being explored for numerous tissue engineering applications. To date, research on the nature, chemistry, and properties of nanocomposite biopolymers are been reported, while the need for a comprehensive research note on more tissue engineering application of these biopolymers remains. As a result, this present study comprehensively reviews the development of common natural biopolymers as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications such as cartilage tissue engineering, cornea repairs, osteochondral defect repairs, and nerve regeneration. More so, the implications of research findings for further studies are presented, while the impact of research advances on future research and other specific recommendations are added as well.

Abstract
Long-range electrostatic interactions beyond biomolecular interaction interfaces have not been extensively studied due to the limitation in engineering electric double layers in physiological fluids. Here we find that long-range electrostatic interactions play an essential role in kinetic modulation of DNA hybridizations. Protein and gold nanoparticles with different charges are encapsulated in tetrahedral frameworks to exert diverse electrostatic effects on site-specifically tethered single DNA strands. Using this strategy, we have successfully modulated the hybridization kinetics in both bulk solution and single molecule level. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that long-range Coulomb interactions are the key factor for hybridization rates. This work validates the important role of long-range electrostatic forces in nucleic acid-biomacromolecule complexes, which may encourage new strategies of gene regulation, antisense therapy, and nucleic acid detection.

Abstract
The broad field of structural DNA nanotechnology has diverged into various areas of applications ranging from computing, photonics, synthetic biology, and biosensing to in-vivo bioimaging and therapeutic delivery, to name but a few. Though the field began to exploit DNA to build various nanoscale architectures, it has now taken a new path to diverge from structural DNA nanotechnology to functional or applied DNA nanotechnology. More recently a third sub-branch has emerged-biologically oriented DNA nanotechnology, which seeks to explore the functionalities of combinatorial DNA devices in various biological systems. In this review, we summarize the key developments in DNA nanotechnology revealing a current trend that merges the functionality of DNA devices with the specificity of biomolecules to access a range of functions in biological systems. This review seeks to provide a perspective on the evolution and biological applications of DNA nanotechnology, where the integration of DNA structures with biomolecules can now uncover phenomena of interest to biologists and biomedical scientists. Finally, we conclude with the challenges, limitations, and perspectives of DNA nanodevices in fundamental and applied research.

Abstract
Tetrahedron DNA structures were formed by the assembly of three-way junction (TWJ) oligonucleotides containing O6 -2'-deoxyguanosine-alkylene-O6 -2'-deoxyguanosine (butylene and heptylene linked) intrastrand cross-links (IaCLs) lacking a phosphodiester group between the 2'-deoxyribose residues. The DNA tetrahedra containing TWJs were shown to undergo an unhooking reaction by the human DNA repair protein O6 -alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) resulting in structure disassembly. The unhooking reaction of hAGT towards the DNA tetrahedra was observed to be moderate to virtually complete depending on the protein equivalents. DNA tetrahedron structures have been explored as drug delivery platforms that release their payload in response to triggers, such as light, chemical agents or hybridization of release strands. The dismantling of DNA tetrahedron structures by a DNA repair protein contributes to the armamentarium of approaches for drug release employing DNA nanostructures.

Abstract
DNA origami holds an unprecedented capability on assembling metallic nanoparticles into designer plasmonic metamolecules of emerging properties, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). SERS metamolecules were produced by positioning nanoparticles in close proximity to each other on a DNA origami template for Raman enhancement. In earlier reports, SERS metamolecules were generally assembled into clusters containing small number of nanoparticles (2, 3, or 4) and thus had limited programmability over SERS. Herein, we expanded the structural complexity of SERS metamolecules by increasing the number of nanoparticles and by arranging them into sophisticated configurations. DNA origami hexagon tile was used as the assembling template to fabricate clusters consisting of 6, 7, 12, 18, and 30+ metallic nanoparticles. Programmable SERS was realized via controlling the size, number, or spatial arrangement of nanoparticles. We believe this method offers a general platform for fabricating sophisticated nanodevices with programmable SERS that may be applied to a variety of fields including plasmonics, nanophotonics, and sensing.

Abstract
The dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome has become a severe human fatal disease caused by infection with one of the four closely related but serologically distinct dengue viruses (DENVs). All four dengue serotypes are currently co-circulating throughout the subtropics and tropics. Since the fatality rate increases severely when a secondary infection occurs by a virus serotype different from that of the initial infection, serotype identification is equally important as virus detection. In this study, the development and validation of a rapid and quantitative DENV serotype-specific (serotypes 1-4) biosensor are reported by optimizing the stable system between cadmium selenide tellurium sulphide fluorescent quantum dots (CdSeTeS QDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Four different nanoprobes are designed using each primer-probe serotype-specific hairpin single-stranded DNA covalently bound at different positions to CdSeTeS QDs, which generates an altered fluorescence signal for each serotype of DENV. In fourplex reactions with free functionalized AuNPs and the four nanoprobes, the standard dilutions of the target virus DNA from 10-15 to 10-10 M were successfully detected. The limit of detection was found to be in the femtomolar range for all four serotypes, where the serotype detection ability was undoubtedly established. To confirm the applicability of this sensing performance in long chained complex RNAs, the sensor was also applied successfully to RNAs extracted from DENV culture fluids for serotype identification as well as quantification, which can lead to a potential diagnostic probe for point-of-care detection.

Abstract
Drug repurpose or reposition is recently recognized as a high-performance strategy for developing therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. This approach can significantly reduce the risk of failure, shorten R&D time, and minimize cost and regulatory obstacles. On the other hand, nanotechnology-based delivery systems are extensively investigated in cancer therapy due to their remarkable ability to overcome drug delivery challenges, enhance tumor specific targeting, and reduce toxic side effects. With increasing knowledge accumulated over the past decades, nanoparticle formulation and delivery have opened up a new avenue for repurposing drugs and demonstrated promising results in advanced cancer therapy. In this review, recent developments in nano-delivery and formulation systems based on soft (i.e., DNA nanocages, nanogels, and dendrimers) and condensed (i.e., noble metal nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks) nanomaterials, as well as their theranostic applications in drug repurpose against cancer are summarized.

Abstract
DNA composite materials are at the forefront, especially for biomedical science, as they can increase the efficacy and safety of current therapies and drug delivery systems. The specificity and predictability of the Watson-Crick base pairing make DNA an excellent building material for the production of programmable and multifunctional objects. In addition, the principle of nucleic acid hybridization can be applied to realize mobile nanostructures, such as those reflected in DNA walkers that sort and collect cargo on DNA tracks, DNA robots performing tasks within living cells and/or DNA tweezers as ultra-sensitive biosensors. In this review, we present the diversity of dynamic DNA nanostructures functionalized with different biomolecules/functional units, imaging smart biomaterials capable of sensing, interacting, delivery and performing complex tasks within living cells/organisms.

Abstract
Metal nanoarchitectures fabrication based on DNA assembly has attracted a good deal of attention. DNA nanotechnology enables precise organization of nanoscale objects with extraordinary structural programmability. The spatial addressability of DNA nanostructures and sequence-dependent recognition allow functional elements to be precisely positioned; thus, novel functional materials that are difficult to produce using conventional methods could be fabricated. This review focuses on the recent development of the fabrication strategies toward manipulating the shape and morphology of metal nanoparticles and nanoassemblies based on the rational design of DNA structures. DNA-mediated metallization, including DNA-templated conductive nanowire fabrication and sequence-selective metal deposition, etc., is briefly introduced. The modifications of metal nanoparticles (NPs) with DNA and subsequent construction of heterogeneous metal nanoarchitectures are highlighted. Importantly, DNA-assembled dynamic metal nanostructures that are responsive to different stimuli are also discussed as they allow the design of smart and dynamic materials. Meanwhile, the prospects and challenges of these shape-and morphology-controlled strategies are summarized.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) decorated with thiol-modified DNA (HS-DNA) strands are an extensively studied, easily adjustable, and highly controllable material for constructing 3D nanostructures with various shapes and functions. However, few reproducible and robust methods involving DNA templates as a key reagent are available for obtaining 3D nanoparticle assemblies. It is still challenging to strictly control the number and location of DNA strands on the AuNP surface. Here, we introduce an efficient approach for the surface modification of AuNPs using unmodified DNA oligonucleotides by building DNA cages that trap the nanoparticles. This enables us to vary the process of nanostructure assembly and create anisotropic nanoparticles that are necessary for directed structure construction. This developed method simplifies the production process in comparison with conventional HS-DNA modification protocols and helps to precisely control the density and position of functional DNA strands designed for further hybridization with other AuNP conjugates.

Abstract
Dynamic wireframe DNA structures have gained significant attention in recent years, with research aimed toward using these architectures for sensing and encapsulation applications. For these assemblies to reach their full potential, however, knowledge of the rates of strand displacement and hybridization on these constructs is required. Herein, we report the use of single-molecule fluorescence methodologies to observe the reversible switching between double- and single-stranded forms of triangular wireframe DNA nanotubes. Specifically, by using fluorescently labeled DNA strands, we were able to monitor changes in intensity over time as we introduced different sequences. This allowed us to extract detailed kinetic information on the strand displacement and hybridization processes. Due to the polymeric nanotube structure, the ability to individually address each of the three sides, and the inherent polydispersity of our samples as a result of the step polymerization by which they are formed, a library of compounds could be studied independently yet simultaneously. Kinetic models relying on mono-exponential decays, multi-exponential decays, or sigmoidal behavior were adjusted to the different constructs to retrieve erasing and refilling kinetics. Correlations were made between the kinetic behavior observed, the site accessibility, the nanotube length, and the structural robustness of wireframe DNA nanostructures, including fully single-stranded analogs. Overall, our results reveal how the length, morphology, and rigidity of the DNA framework modulate the kinetics of strand displacement and hybridization as well as the overall addressability and structural stability of the structures under study.

Abstract
The self-assembled structures of atomically precise, ligand-protected noble metal nanoclusters leading to encapsulation of plasmonic gold nanorods (GNRs) is presented. Unlike highly sophisticated DNA nanotechnology, this strategically simple hydrogen bonding-directed self-assembly of nanoclusters leads to octahedral nanocrystals encapsulating GNRs. Specifically, the p-mercaptobenzoic acid (pMBA)-protected atomically precise silver nanocluster, Na4 [Ag44 (pMBA)30 ], and pMBA-functionalized GNRs were used. High-resolution transmission and scanning transmission electron tomographic reconstructions suggest that the geometry of the GNR surface is responsible for directing the assembly of silver nanoclusters via H-bonding, leading to octahedral symmetry. The use of water-dispersible gold nanoclusters, Au≈250 (pMBA)n and Au102 (pMBA)44 , also formed layered shells encapsulating GNRs. Such cluster assemblies on colloidal particles are a new category of precision hybrids with diverse possibilities.

Abstract
Over the past decade, we have seen rapid advances in applying nanotechnology in biomedical areas including bioimaging, biodetection, and drug delivery. As an emerging field, DNA nanotechnology offers simple yet powerful design techniques for self-assembly of nanostructures with unique advantages and high potential in enhancing drug targeting and reducing drug toxicity. Various sequence programming and optimization approaches have been developed to design DNA nanostructures with precisely engineered, controllable size, shape, surface chemistry, and function. Potent anticancer drug molecules, including Doxorubicin and CpG oligonucleotides, have been successfully loaded on DNA nanostructures to increase their cell uptake efficiency. These advances have implicated the bright future of DNA nanotechnology-enabled nanomedicine. In this review, we begin with the origin of DNA nanotechnology, followed by summarizing state-of-the-art strategies for the construction of DNA nanostructures and drug payloads delivered by DNA nanovehicles. Further, we discuss the cellular fates of DNA nanostructures as well as challenges and opportunities for DNA nanostructure-based drug delivery.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) endowed with anisotropic DNA valency are an important class of materials, as they can assemble into complex structures with a minimal number of DNA strands. However, methods to encode 3D DNA strand patterns on AuNPs with a controlled number of unique DNA strands in a predesigned spatial arrangement remain elusive. In this work, a simple one-step method to yield such DNA-decorated AuNPs is demonstrated, through encapsulating AuNPs into DNA minimal nanocages. The AuNP@DNA cage encapsulation complex inherits the 3D anisotropic molecular information from the DNA nanocage with enhanced structural stability. The DNA nanocage can be further functionalized and used as a building block for the self-assembly of complex architectures, such as dimers and trimers, programmed assemblies with sequential growth DNA backbones and DNA origami.

Abstract
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) often includes an unwanted background, which increases the required measurement time to resolve the sample structure. This is undesirable in all experiments, and may make measurement of dynamic or radiation-sensitive samples impossible. Here, we demonstrate a new technique, applicable when the scattering signal is background-dominated, which reduces the requisite exposure time. Our method consists of exploiting coherent interference between a sample with a designed strongly scattering 'amplifier'. A modified angular correlation function is used to extract the symmetry of the interference term; that is, the scattering arising from the interference between the amplifier and the sample. This enables reconstruction of the sample's symmetry, despite the sample scattering itself being well below the intensity of background scattering. Thus, coherent amplification is used to generate a strong scattering term (well above background), from which sample scattering is inferred. We validate this method using lithographically defined test samples.

Abstract
The quest for the by-design assembly of material and devices from nanoscale inorganic components is well recognized. Conventional self-assembly is often limited in its ability to control material morphology and structure simultaneously. Here, we report a general method of assembling nanoparticles in a linear "pillar" morphology with regulated internal configurations. Our approach is inspired by supramolecular systems, where intermolecular stacking guides the assembly process to form diverse linear morphologies. Programmable stacking interactions were realized through incorporation of DNA coded recognition between the designed planar nanoparticle clusters. This resulted in the formation of multilayered pillar architectures with a well-defined internal nanoparticle organization. By controlling the number, position, size, and composition of the nanoparticles in each layer, a broad range of nanoparticle pillars were assembled and characterized in detail. In addition, we demonstrated the utility of this stacking assembly strategy for investigating plasmonic and electrical transport properties.
