Abstract
Colloidal molecule clusters (CMCs) are promising building blocks with molecule-like symmetry, offering exceptional synergistic properties for applications in plasmonics and catalysis. Traditional CMC fabrication has been limited to simple molecule-like structures utilizing isotropic particles. Here, we employ molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the co-assembly of anisotropic nanorods (NRs) and the stimulus-responsive polymer (SRP) via reversible adsorption. The results of the simulation show that it is possible to fabricate hypercoordination complex structures with high symmetry from the co-assembly of NRs and the SRP, even in analogy to the Th(BH4)4 structure. The coordination number of these CMCs can be precisely programmed by adjusting the shape and size of the ends of the NRs and the SRP cohesion energy. Furthermore, a finite-difference time-domain simulation indicates these hypercoordination structures exhibit significantly enhanced optical activity and plasmonic coupling effects. These findings introduce a new design approach for complex molecule-like structures utilizing anisotropic nanoparticles and may expand the applications of CMCs in photonics.

Abstract
Self-assembly processes, while promising for enabling the fabrication of complexly organized nanomaterials from nanoparticles, are often limited in creating structures with multiscale order. These limitations are due to difficulties in practically realizing the assembly processes required to achieve such complex organizations. For a long time, a hierarchical assembly attracted interest as a potentially powerful approach. However, due to the experimental limitations, intermediate-level structures are often heterogeneous in composition and structure, which significantly impacts the formation of large-scale organizations. Here, we introduce a two-stage assembly strategy: DNA origami frames scaffold a coordination of nanoparticles into designed 3D nanoclusters, and then these clusters are assembled into ordered lattices whose types are determined by the clusters' valence. Through modulating the nanocluster architectures and intercluster bindings, we demonstrate the successful formation of complexly organized nanoparticle crystals. The presented two-stage assembly method provides a powerful fabrication strategy for creating nanoparticle superlattices with prescribed unit cells.

Abstract
A DNA origami nanocaliper is employed as a shape-resolved nanomechanical device, with pH-responsive triplex DNA integrated into the two arms. The shape transition of the nanocaliper results in a subtle difference depending on the local pH that is visible via TEM imaging, demonstrating the potential of these nanocalipers to act as a universal platform for pH sensing at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Due to the proposal and evolution of the DNA origami technique over the past decade, DNA molecules have been utilized as building blocks for the precise construction of nanoscale architectures. Benefiting from the superior programmability of DNA molecules, the sequence-dependent recognition mechanism and robust complementation among DNA strands make it possible to customize almost arbitrary structures. Such an assembly strategy bypasses some of the limits of conventional fabrication methods; the fabrication accuracy and complexity of the target product are unprecedentedly promoted as well. Furthermore, due to the spatial addressability of the final products, nanostructures assembled through the DNA origami technique can also serve as a versatile platform for the spatial positioning of functional elements, represented by colloidal nanoparticles (NPs). The subsequent fabrication of heterogeneous functional nanoarchitectures is realized via modifying colloidal NPs with DNA strands and manipulating them to anchor into DNA origami templates. This has given rise to investigations of their novel properties in nanophotonics and therapeutic effects towards some diseases. In this review, we survey the crucial progress in the development of DNA origami design, assembly and structural analysis and summarize available applications in nanophotonics and cancer therapy based on the object-dressed DNA origami complex. Moreover, we elucidate the development of this field and discuss the potential directions of this kind of application-oriented nanomanufacturing.
