Abstract
Wafer-scale aligned carbon nanotubes (A-CNTs) are promising candidate semiconductors for building high-performance complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors for future integrated circuits (ICs). A-CNT-based p-type field-effect transistors (P-FETs) have demonstrated excellent performance and scalability down to sub-10 nm nodes. However, the development of A-CNT n-type FETs (N-FETs) lags far behind, in regard to their electronic performance and device scaling. In this work, we fabricated top-gated N-FETs based on A-CNTs with a scandium (Sc)-contacted source and drain. High-performance A-CNT N-FETs were demonstrated with record on-state current (Ion) exceeding 1 mA/μm and peak transconductance (gm) of 0.4 mS/μm. Interestingly, the A-CNT N-FETs exhibited abnormal scaling behavior owing to the lateral oxidation of low-work function source/drain contacts, leading to formidable challenges to scale both the gate length (Lg) and the contact length (Lc) at the same time. Understanding of the abnormal scaling behavior contributes to seeking solutions for high-performance A-CNT N-FETs, and it paves the way for future CNT CMOS digital IC technology.

Abstract
Low-dimensional semiconductor-based field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors are promising for label-free detection of biotargets while facing challenges in mass fabrication of devices and reliable reading of small signals. Here, we construct a reliable technology for mass production of semiconducting carbon nanotube (CNT) film and FET biosensors. High-uniformity randomly oriented CNT films were prepared through an improved immersion coating technique, and then, CNT FETs were fabricated with coefficient of performance variations within 6% on 4-in. wafers (within 9% interwafer) based on an industrial standard-level process. The CNT FET-based ion sensors demonstrated threshold voltage standard deviations within 5.1 mV at each ion concentration, enabling direct reading of the concentration information based on the drain current. By integrating bioprobes, we achieved detection of biosignals as low as 100 aM through a plug-and-play portable detection system. The reliable technology will contribute to commercial applications of CNT FET biosensors, especially in point-of-care tests.

Abstract
As integrated circuits continue to scale toward the atomic limit, bottom-up processes, such as epitaxial growth, have come to feature prominently in their fabrication. At the same time, chemistry has developed highly tunable molecular semiconductors that can perform the functions of ultimately scaled circuit components. Hybrid techniques that integrate programmable structures comprising molecular components into devices however are sorely lacking. Here we demonstrate a wafer-scale process that directs the localization of a conductive polymer, Mw = 20 kg mol-1 polyaniline, from dilute solutions into 50 nm vertical nanogap device architectures using electric-field-driven self-assembly. The resulting metal-polymer-metal junctions were characterized by electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transport measurements demonstrating that our technique is highly selective, assembling conductive polymers only in electrically activated nanogaps. Our results represent a step toward scalable hybrid nanoelectronics that seamlessly integrate established lithographic top-down fabrication with bottom-up synthesized molecular functional circuit components.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have gained significant interest for their potential in biomedicine and nanoelectronics. The functionalization of SWCNTs with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) enables the precise control of SWCNT alignment and the development of optical and electronic biosensors. This study addresses the current gaps in the field by employing high-throughput systematic selection, enriching high-affinity ssDNA sequences from a vast random library. Specific base compositions and patterns are identified that govern the binding affinity between ssDNA and SWCNTs. Molecular dynamics simulations validate the stability of ssDNA conformations on SWCNTs and reveal the pivotal role of hydrogen bonds in this interaction. Additionally, it is demonstrated that machine learning could accurately distinguish high-affinity ssDNA sequences, providing an accessible model on a dedicated webpage (http://service.k-medai.com/ssdna4cnt). These findings open new avenues for high-affinity ssDNA-SWCNT constructs for stable and sensitive molecular detection across diverse scientific disciplines.

Abstract
Photolithography has been the foundational fabrication paradigm in current high-performance electronics. However, due to the limitation in fabrication resolution, scaling beyond a 20-nm critical dimension for metal conductors presents a significant challenge for photolithography. Structural DNA nanotechnology emerges as a promising alternative to photolithography, allowing for the site-specific assembly of nano-materials at single-molecule resolution. Substantial progresses have been achieved in the ultra-scaled DNA-based conductors, exhibiting novel transport characteristics and small critical dimensions. This review highlights the structure-transport property relationship for various DNA-based conductors and their potential applications in quantum /semiconductor electronics, going beyond the conventional scope focusing mainly on the shape diversity of DNA-templated metals. Different material synthesis methods and their morphological impacts on the conductivities are discussed in detail, with particular emphasis on the conducting mechanisms, such as insulating, metallic conducting, quantum tunneling, and superconducting. Furthermore, the ionic gating effect of self-assembled DNA structures in electrolyte solutions is examined. This review also suggests potential solutions to address current challenges in DNA-based conductors, encouraging multi-disciplinary collaborations for the future development of this exciting area.

Abstract
2D Archimedean tiling and complex tessellation patterns assembled from soft materials including modular DNA tiles have attracted great interest because of their specific structures and potential applications in nanofabrication, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, biomedical sensing, drug delivery, therapeutics, etc. Traditional three- and four-point-star DNA tiles with the core arm length at two half-turns (specified as three- and four-point-star-E previously and abbreviated as 3PSE and 4PSE tiles here) have been applied to assemble intricate tessellations through tuning the size of inserted nT (n = 1-7, T is thymine) loops on helper strands at the tile center. Following our recent findings using a new type of four-point-star tiles with the core arm length at three half-turns (specified as four-point-star-O previously and abbreviated as 4PSO tiles here) to assemble DNA tubes and flat 2D arrays, we report here the cross-hybridization weaving architectures at the tile center to construct three new 3PSO tiles with circular DNA oligonucleotides of 96-nt (nucleotides) serving as the scaffolds, further the monotonous and combinatory E- and O-tilings on one type of 3PSO tiles to create 2D Archimedean tiling patterns (6.6.6) and (4.8.8), and finally, the combination of 3PSO with 4PSO as well as 2PSO tiles to tile into complex tessellation patterns. The easy realization of regular and intricate DNA tessellations with 2-4PSO tiles not only richens the fundamental DNA modules and complex DNA nanostructures in types but also broadens the potential application scopes of DNA nanostructures in nanofabrication, DNA computing, biomedicine, etc.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), due to excellent electronic properties, are emerging as a promising semiconductor for diverse electronic applications with superiority over silicon. However, until now, the supposed superiority of CNTs by "head-to-head" comparison within a well-defined voltage range remains unrealized. Here, we report aligned CNT (ACNT)-based electronics on a glass wafer and successfully develop a 250-nm gate length ACNT-based field-effect transistor (FET) with an almost identical transfer curve to a "90-nm" node silicon device, indicating a three- to four-generation superiority. Moreover, a record gate delay of 9.86 ps is achieved by our ring oscillator, which exceeds silicon even at a lower supply voltage. Furthermore, the fabrication of basic logic gates indicates the potential for further digital integrated circuits. All of these results highlight ACNT-based FETs on the glass wafer as an effective solution/platform for further development of CNT-based electronics.

Abstract
High packing density aligned arrays of semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are required for many electronics applications. Past work has shown that the accumulation of CNTs at a water-solvent interface can drive array self-assembly. Previously, the confining interface was a large-area, macroscopic feature. Here, we report on the CNT assembly on microscopic water features. Water microdroplets are formed on 10-100 μm wide hydrophilic stripes patterned on a substrate. Exposure to CNTs dispersed in solvent accumulates CNTs at the microdroplet-solvent interface, driving their alignment and deposition at the microdroplet-solvent-substrate contact line. Compared with macroscopic methods in which the contact line uncontrollably moves across the substrate as it is pulled out of the liquids, the hydrophilic patterns and microdroplets allow pinning of the contact line. As CNTs deposit, the contact line self-translates, allowing for dense CNT packing. We realize monolayer CNT arrays aligned within ±3.9° at density of 250 μm-1 and field effect transistors with a high current density of 1.9 mA μm-1 and transconductance of 1.2 mS μm-1 at -0.6 V drain bias and 60 nm channel length.

Abstract
Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and durability of smart biocomposite materials used as multifunctional materials. Smart biocomposites are composed of renewable or biodegradable materials and have emerged as eco-friendly alternatives of traditional non-biodegradable glass fiber-based composite materials. Although biocomposites exhibit fascinating properties and many desirable traits, real-time and early stage SHM is the most challenging issue to enable their long-term use. Smart biocomposites are integrated with sensors for in situ identification of the progress of damage and composite failure. The sensitivity of such smart biocomposites is a key functionality, which can be tuned by the introduction of an appropriate filler. In particular, nanocarbons hold promising potential to be incorporated in SHM applications of biocomposites. This review focused on the potential applications of nanocarbons in SHM of biocomposites. The aspects related to fabrication techniques and working mechanism of sensors are comprehensively discussed. Furthermore, their unique mechanical and electrical properties and sustainable nature ensure seamless integration into biocomposites, allowing for real-time monitoring without compromising the material's properties. These sensors offer multi-parameter sensing capabilities, such as strain, pressure, humidity, temperature, and chemical exposure, allowing a comprehensive assessment of biocomposite health. Additionally, their durability and longevity in harsh conditions, along with wireless connectivity options, provide cost-effective and sustainable SHM solutions. As research in this field advances, ongoing efforts seek to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of these sensors, optimizing their performance for real-world applications. This review highlights the significant advances, ongoing efforts to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity, and performance optimization of nanocarbon-based sensors along with their working mechanism in the field of SHM for smart biocomposites. The key challenges and future research perspectives facing the conversion of nanocarbons to smart biocomposites are also displayed.

Abstract
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have ideal electronic, chemical, and mechanical properties and are ideal channel materials for constructing transistors in the post-Moore era. Experiments have shown that CNT-based planar CMOS transistors can be scaled down to sub-10 nm technology nodes, demonstrating excellent performance far exceeding the silicon limit. At the same time, CNT electronic technology is essentially a thin-film transistor technology, which enables the construction of chips on such substrates as glass and polymers with an area of several meters, providing technical support for large-area and flexible electronic applications. In addition, since CNT electronics technology involves only low-temperature processes (less than 400 °C), the monolithic 3D integration of logic and memory devices can be realized which can greatly improve the comprehensive performance of the chip and lead to a thousand-fold performance increase for special data structures, especially in AI applications.

Abstract
Aligned and suspended carbon nanotubes can outperform randomly oriented networks in electronic biosensing and thin-film electronics. However, carbon nanotubes tend to bundle and form random networks. Here, we show that carbon nanotubes spontaneously align in an ammonium deoxycholate surfactant gel even under low shear forces, allowing direct writing and printing of nanotubes into electrically conducting wires and aligned thin layers across trenches. To demonstrate its application potential, we directly printed arrays of disposable electrical biosensors, which show femtomolar sensitivity in the detection of DNA and SARS-CoV-2 RNA.

Abstract
The molecular electronic devices based on self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on metal surfaces demonstrate novel electronic functions for device minimization yet are unable to realize in practical applications, due to their instability against oxidation of the sulfur-metal bond. This paper describes an alternative to the thiolate anchoring group to form stable SAMs on gold by selenides anchoring group. Because of the formation of strong selenium-gold bonds, these stable SAMs allow us to incorporate them in molecular tunnel junctions to yield extremely stable junctions for over 200 days. A detailed structural characterization supported by spectroscopy and first-principles modeling shows that the oxidation process is much slower with the selenium-gold bond than the sulfur-gold bond, and the selenium-gold bond is strong enough to avoid bond breaking even when it is eventually oxidized. This proof of concept demonstrates that the extraordinarily stable SAMs derived from selenides are useful for long-lived molecular electronic devices and can possibly become important in many air-stable applications involving SAMs.

Abstract
Tangential flow interfacial self-assembly (TaFISA) is a promising scalable technique enabling uniformly aligned carbon nanotubes for high-performance semiconductor electronics. In this process, flow is utilized to induce global alignment in two-dimensional nematic carbon nanotube assemblies trapped at a liquid/liquid interface, and these assemblies are subsequently deposited on target substrates. Here, we present an observational study of experimental parameters that affect the interfacial assembly and subsequent aligned nanotube deposition. We specifically study the water contact angle (WCA) of the substrate, nanotube ink composition, and water subphase and examine their effects on liquid crystal defects, overall and local alignment, and nanotube bunching or crowding. By varying the substrate chemical functionalization, we determine that highly aligned, densely packed, individualized nanotubes deposit only at relatively small WCA between 35 and 65°. At WCA (< 10°), high nanotube bunching or crowding occurs, and the film is nonuniform, while aligned deposition ceases to occur at higher WCA (>65°). We find that the best alignment, with minimal liquid crystal defects, occurs when the polymer-wrapped nanotubes are dispersed in chloroform at a low (0.6:1) wrapper polymer to nanotube ratio. We also demonstrate that modifying the water subphase through the addition of glycerol not only improves overall alignment and reduces liquid crystal defects but also increases local nanotube bunching. These observations provide important guidance for the implementation of TaFISA and its use toward creating technologies based on aligned semiconducting carbon nanotubes.

Abstract
Structural DNA nanotechnology can be programmed into complex designer structures with molecular precision for directing a wide range of inorganic and biological materials. However, the use of DNA-templated approaches for the fabrication and performance requirements of ultra-scaled semiconductor electronics is limited by its assembly disorder and destructive interface composition. In this protocol, using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as model semiconductors, we provide a stepwise process to build ultra-scaled, high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) from micron-scale three-dimensional DNA templates. We apply the approach to assemble CNT arrays with uniform pitches scaled between 24.1 and 10.4 nm with yields of more than 95%, which exceeds the resolution limits of conventional lithography. To achieve highly clean CNT interfaces, we detail a rinsing-after-fixing step to remove residual DNA template and salt contaminations present around the contact and the channel regions, without modifying the alignment of the CNT arrays. The DNA-templated CNT FETs display both high on-state current (4-15 μA per CNT) and small subthreshold swing (60-100 mV per decade), which are superior to previous examples of biotemplated electronics and match the performance metrics of high-performance, silicon-based electronics. The scalable assembly of defect-free three-dimensional DNA templates requires 1 week and the CNT arrays can be synthesized within half a day. The interface engineering requires 1-2 d, while the fabrication of high-performance FET and logic gate circuits requires 2-4 d. The structural and performance characterizations of molecular-precise DNA self-assembly and high-performance electronics requires 1-2 d. The protocol is suited for users with expertise in DNA nanotechnology and semiconductor electronics.

Abstract
Tile-based DNA self-assembly is a cost-effective fabrication method for large-scale nanopatterns. Herein, we report a protocol to directly assemble DNA 2D arrays on silicon wafers and then use the DNA nanostructures as molds to fabricate the corresponding nanostructures on the silicon wafers by hydrogen fluoride (HF) etching. Similar HF etching has been used with robust large DNA origami structures as templates. This work demonstrates that DNA nanostructures assembled from small tiles are sufficiently stable for this process. The resulting feature size (∼8.6 nm) approaches the sizes of e-beam lithography. While the reported method is parallel and inexpensive, e-beam lithography is a serial method and is expensive. We expect that this method will be very useful for preparing fine nanopatterns in large areas.

Abstract
Better control of molecule-electrode coupling (Γ) to minimize leakage current is an effective method to optimize the functionality of molecular diodes. Herein we embedded 5 isomers of phenypyridyl derivatives, each with an N atom placed at a different position, in two electrodes to fine-tune Γ between self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and the top electrode of EGaIn (eutectic Ga-In terminating in Ga2 O3 ). Combined with electrical tunnelling results, characterizations of electronic structures, single-level model fittings, and DFT calculations, we found that the values of Γ of SAMs formed by these isomers could be regulated by nearly 10 times, thereby contributing to the leakage current changing over about two orders of magnitude and switching the isomers from resistors to diodes with a rectification ratio (r+ =|J(+1.5 V)/J(-1.5 V)|) exceeding 200. We demonstrated that the N atom placement can be chemically engineered to tune the resistive and rectifying properties of the molecular junctions, making it possible to convert molecular resistors into rectifiers. Our study provides fundamental insights into the role of isomerism in molecular electronics and offers a new avenue for designing functional molecular devices.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology is a unique field, where physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, and materials science can elegantly converge. Since the original proposal of Nadrian Seeman, significant advances have been achieved in the past four decades. During this glory time, the DNA origami technique developed by Paul Rothemund further pushed the field forward with a vigorous momentum, fostering a plethora of concepts, models, methodologies, and applications that were not thought of before. This review focuses on the recent progress in DNA origami-engineered nanomaterials in the past five years, outlining the exciting achievements as well as the unexplored research avenues. We believe that the spirit and assets that Seeman left for scientists will continue to bring interdisciplinary innovations and useful applications to this field in the next decade.

Abstract
Synthesis of engineered colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) with delicate surface characteristics leads to well-defined physicochemical properties and contributes to multifunctional applications. Surface engineering of colloidal NPs can improve their stability in diverse solvents by inhibiting the interparticle attractive forces, thus providing a prerequisite for further particle manipulation, fabrication of the following materials and biological applications. During the last decades, surface engineering methods for colloidal NPs have been well-developed by numerous researchers. However, accurate control of surface properties is still an important topic. The emerging DNA/protein nanotechnology offers additional possibility of surface modification of NPs and programmable particle self-assembly. Here, we first briefly review the recent progress in surface engineering of colloidal NPs, focusing on the improved stability by grafting suitable small molecules, polymers or biological macromolecules. We then present the practical strategies for nucleic acid surface encoding of NPs and subsequent programmable assembly. Various exciting applications of these unique materials are summarized with a specific focus on the cellular uptake, bio-toxicity, imaging and diagnosis of colloidal NPs in vivo. With the growing interest in colloidal NPs in nano-biological research, we expect that this review can play an instructive role in engineering the surface properties for desired applications.

Abstract
Controlling the assembly of DNA in order on a suitable electrode surface is of great significance for biosensors and disease diagnosis, but it is full of challenges. In this work, we creatively assembled DNA on the surface of octadecylamine (ODA)-modified topological insulator (Tls) Bi2Se3 and developed an electrochemical biosensor to detect biomarker DNA of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A high-quality Bi2Se3 sheet was obtained from a single crystal synthesized in our lab. A uniform ODA layer was coated in argon by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). We observed and analyzed the assembly and mechanism of single-strand DNA (ssDNA) and double-strand DNA (dsDNA) on the Bi2Se3 surface through atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The electrochemical signal revealed that the biosensor based on the DNA/ODA/Bi2Se3 electrode has a wide linear detection range from 1.0 × 10-12 to 1.0 × 10-8 M, with the limit of detection as low as 5 × 10-13 M. Bi2Se3 has robust surface states and improves the electrochemical signal-to-noise ratio, while the uniform ODA layer guides high-density ordered DNA, enhancing the sensitivity of the biosensor. Our work demonstrates that the ordered DNA/ODA/Bi2Se3 electrode surface has great application potential in the field of biosensing and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Non-magnetic metal nanoparticles have been previously applied for the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). However, the activation mechanisms of non-magnetic metal catalysts and chirality distribution of synthesized SWNTs remain unclear. In this work, the activation mechanisms of non-magnetic metal palladium (Pd) particles supported by the magnesia carrier and thermodynamic stabilities of nucleated SWNTs with different (n, m) are evaluated by theoretical simulations. The electronic metal-support interaction between Pd and magnesia upshifts the d-band center of Pd, which promotes the chemisorption and dissociation of carbon precursor molecules on the Pd surface, making the activation of magnesia-supported non-magnetic Pd catalysts for SWNT growth possible. To verify the theoretical results, a porous magnesia supported Pd catalyst is developed for the bulk synthesis of SWNTs by chemical vapor deposition. The chirality distribution of Pd-grown SWNTs is understood by operating both Pd-SWNT interfacial formation energy and SWNT growth kinetics. This work not only helps to gain new insights into the activation of catalysts for growing SWNTs, but also extends the use of non-magnetic metal catalysts for bulk synthesis of SWNTs.

Abstract
An aligned semiconducting carbon nanotube (A-CNT) array has been considered an excellent channel material to construct high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) and integrated circuits (ICs). The purification and assembly processes to prepare a semiconducting A-CNT array require conjugated polymers, introducing stubborn residual polymers and stress at the interface between A-CNTs and substrate, which inevitably affects the fabrication and performance of the FETs. In this work, we develop a process to refresh the Si/SiO2 substrate surface underneath the A-CNT film by wet etching to clean the residual polymers and release the stress. Top-gated A-CNT FETs fabricated with this process show significant performance improvement especially in terms of saturation on-current, peak transconductance, hysteresis, and subthreshold swing. These improvements are attributed to the increase in carrier mobility from 1025 to 1374 cm2/Vs by 34% after the substrate surface refreshing process. Representative 200 nm gate-length A-CNT FETs exhibit an on-current of 1.42 mA/μm and a peak transconductance of 1.06 mS/μm at a drain-to-source bias of 1 V, subthreshold swing (SS) of 105 mV/dec, and negligible hysteresis and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) of 5 mV/V.

Abstract
Atom manufacturing has become a blooming frontier direction in the field of material and chemical science in recent years, focusing on the fabrication of functional materials and devices with individual atoms or with atomic precision. Framework nucleic acids (FNAs) refer to nanoscale nucleic acid framework structures with novel properties distinct from those of conventional nucleic acids. Due to their ability to be precisely positioned and assembled at the nanometer or even atomic scale, FNAs are ideal materials for atom manufacturing. They hold great promise for the bottom-up construction of electronic devices by precisely arranging and integrating building blocks with atomic or near-atomic precision. In this review, we summarize the progress of atom manufacturing based on FNAs. We begin by introducing the atomic-precision construction of FNAs and the intrinsic electrical properties of DNA molecules. Then, we describe various approaches for the fabrication of FNAs templated materials and devices, which are classified as conducting, insulating, or semiconducting based on their electrical properties. We highlight the role of FNAs in the fabrication of functional electronic devices with atomic precision, as well as the challenges and opportunities for atom manufacturing with FNAs.

Abstract
Directed placement of DNA origami could play a key role in future integrated nanoelectronic devices. Here we demonstrated the site-selective attachment of DNA origami on gold dots formed using a pattern transfer method through block copolymer self-assembly. First, a random copolymer brush layer is grafted on the Si surface and then poly (styrene-b-methylmethacrylate) block copolymer is spin-coated to give a hexagonal nanoarray after annealing. UV irradiation followed by acetic acid etching is used to remove the PMMA, creating cylindrical holes and then oxygen plasma etching removes the random copolymer layer inside those holes. Next, metal evaporation, followed by lift-off creates a gold dot array. We evaluated different ligand functionalization of Au dots, as well as DNA hybridization to attach DNA origami to the nanodots. DNA-coated Au nanorods are assembled on the DNA origami as a step towards creating nanowires and to facilitate electron microscopy characterization of the attachment of DNA origami on these Au nanodots. The DNA hybridization approach showed better DNA attachment to Au nanodots than localization by electrostatic interaction. This work contributes to the understanding of DNA-templated assembly, nanomaterials, and block copolymer nanolithography. Furthermore, the work shows potential for creating DNA-templated nanodevices and their placement in ordered arrays in future nanoelectronics.

Abstract
Many photonic and electronic devices rely on nanotechnology and nanofabrication, but DNA-based approaches have yet to make a significant commercial impact in these fields even though DNA molecules are now well-established as versatile building blocks for nanostructures. As we describe here, DNA molecules can be chemically modified with a wide variety of functional groups enabling nanocargoes to be attached at precisely determined locations. DNA nanostructures can also be used as templates for the growth of inorganic structures. Together, these factors enable the use of DNA nanotechnology for the construction of many novel devices and systems. In this topical review, we discuss four case studies of potential applications in photonics and electronics: carbon nanotube transistors, devices for quantum computing, artificial electromagnetic materials, and enzymatic fuel cells. We conclude by speculating about the barriers to the exploitation of these technologies in real-world settings.

Abstract
Carbon and hydrogen bonding constitute the backbone of life; in the form of graphene, possibly functionalized by DNA nucleobases, these hold promise for the programmable assembly of graphene-based nanoelectronic devices. It is still unknown how hydrogen-bonded junctions inherent in such devices will perform as electron transport media. Here, we design nucleobase-bonded graphene nanoribbons and quantify their quantum transport characteristics using first-principles calculations. Pronounced rectifying behavior and negative differential resistance are found, as well as high conductance of certain structures, with the guanine-cytosine junction in general being superior to the adenine-thymine junction. The identified sensitivity of the conductance to atomic details of the interfaces offers initial hints and guidance for experimental realization. The dependence of current on electrostatic gate doping, with an on/off ratio of ∼102, shows the potential of the junction as a field effect transistor.

Abstract
This article presents a concise summary of current advancements in novel nanomaterial-based optical fiber biosensors. The beneficial optical and biological properties of nanomaterials, such as nanoparticle size-dependent signal amplification, plasmon resonance, and charge-transfer capabilities, are widely used in biosensing applications. Due to the biocompatibility and bioreceptor combination, the nanomaterials enhance the sensitivity, limit of detection, specificity, and response time of sensing probes, as well as the signal-to-noise ratio of fiber optic biosensing platforms. This has established a practical method for improving the performance of fiber optic biosensors. With the aforementioned outstanding nanomaterial properties, the development of fiber optic biosensors has been efficiently promoted.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)-based devices are expected to play an important role in the next generation of electronic integrated circuits. As an important structural unit for SWNT-based electronics, the Schottky junction has a series of functions such as rectification, photoelectric detection, switching, etc. Here, we demonstrate a well-controlled localized radical reaction method to prepare an intramolecular SWNT Schottky junction with a closed edge. This junction exhibits strong gate-dependent rectifying behavior and a high rectification ratio of 962. Furthermore, the semiconducting part on the junction side could be effectively tuned from p-type doping to n-type doping, resulting in reversible rectifying behavior. Our work paves a new avenue for the design and synthesis of an SWNT Schottky junction, which is very important to future applications for carbon-based nanoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Here, we study optically resonant substrates fabricated using the previously reported BLIN (biotemplated lithography of inorganic nanostructures) technique with single triangle and bowtie DNA origami as templates. We present the first optical characterization of BLIN-fabricated origami-shaped silver nanoparticle patterns on glass surfaces, comprising optical transmission measurements and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The formed nanoparticle patterns are examined by optical transmission measurements and used for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye molecules. Polarization-resolved simulations reveal that the higher SERS enhancement observed for the bowties is primarily due to spectral overlap of the optical resonances with the Raman transitions of R6G. The results manifest the applicability of the BLIN method and substantiate its potential in parallel and high-throughput substrate manufacturing with engineered optical properties. While the results demonstrate the crucial role of the formed nanogaps for SERS, the DNA origami may enable even more complex nanopatterns for various optical applications.

Abstract
Controlling the deposition of polymer-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-CNTs) onto functionalized substrates can enable the fabrication of s-CNT arrays for semiconductor devices. In this work, we utilize classical atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to show that a simple descriptor of solvent structure near silica substrates functionalized by a wide variety of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can predict trends in the deposition of s-CNTs from toluene. Free energy calculations and experiments indicate that those SAMs that lead to maximum disruption of solvent structure promote deposition to the greatest extent. These findings are consistent with deposition being driven by solvent-mediated interactions that arise from SAM-solvent interactions, rather than direct s-CNT-SAM interactions, and will permit the rapid computational exploration of potential substrate designs for controlling s-CNT deposition and alignment.

Polyoxometalate steric hindrance driven chirality-selective separation of subnanometer carbon nanotubes. Chem Sci 2022; 13:5920-5928. [PMID: 35685796 PMCID: PMC9132071 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc01160c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Subnanometer single-chirality single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are of particular interest in multiple applications. Inspired by the interdisciplinary combination of redox active polyoxometalates and SWCNTs, here we report a cluster steric hindrance strategy by assembling polyoxometalates on the outer surface of subnanometer SWCNTs via electron transfer and demonstrate the selective separation of monochiral (6,5) SWCNTs with a diameter of 0.75 nm by a commercially available conjugated polymer. The combined use of DFT calculations, TEM, and XPS unveils the mechanism that selective separation is associated with tube diameter-dependent interactions between the tube and clusters. Sonication drives the preferential detachment of polyoxometalate clusters from small-diameter (6,5) SWCNTs, attributable to weak tube-cluster interactions, which enables the polymer wrapping and separation of the released SWCNTs, while strong binding clusters with large-diameter SWCNTs provide steric hindrance and block the polymer wrapping. The polyoxometalate-assisted modulation, which can be rationally customized, provides a universal and robust pathway for the separation of SWCNTs.

Abstract
While DNA-directed nano-fabrication enables the high-resolution patterning for conventional electronic materials and devices, the intrinsic self-assembly defects of DNA structures present challenges for further scaling into sub-1 nm technology nodes. The high-dimensional crystallographic defects, including line dislocations and grain boundaries, typically lead to the pattern defects of the DNA lattices. Using periodic line arrays as model systems, we discover that the sequence periodicity mainly determines the formation of line defects, and the defect rate reaches 74% at 8.2-nm line pitch. To suppress high-dimensional defects rate, we develop an effective approach by assigning the orthogonal sequence sets into neighboring unit cells, reducing line defect rate by two orders of magnitude at 7.5-nm line pitch. We further demonstrate densely aligned metal nano-line arrays by depositing metal layers onto the assembled DNA templates. The ultra-scaled critical pitches in the defect-free DNA arrays may further promote the dimension-dependent properties of DNA-templated materials.

Abstract
Understanding the conformations of physisorbed single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) oligos on single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) surfaces is important for advancing basic nanoscience and for developing applications in biomedicine and quantum information processing. Here we report evidence that the ssDNA strands are partly desorbed from the nanotube surface under common conditions. SWCNT suspensions were prepared in eight ssDNA oligos, each containing 1 guanine and 30 thymine bases but differing in the position of the guanine within the strand. Singlet oxygen exposure then covalently functionalized the guanine to the SWCNT surface, red-shifting the nanotube fluorescence by an amount reflecting the guanine spatial density at the surface. Spectral shifts were greatest for central guanine positions and smallest for end positions. In conjunction with steered molecular dynamics simulations, the results suggest that steric interference between neighboring ssDNA strands on an individual nanotube causes significant dislocation or desorption of the strand ends while central regions remain better wrapped around the nanotube. This effect decreases with decreasing concentrations of free ssDNA.

Abstract
The diverse surface interactions and functions of a bacterium play an important role in cell signaling, host infection, and colony formation. To understand and synthetically control the biological functions of individual cells as well as the whole community, there is growing attention on the development of chemical and biological tools that can integrate artificial functional motifs onto the bacterial surface to replace the native interactions, enabling a variety of applications in biosynthesis, environmental protection, and human health. Among all these functional motifs, DNA emerges as a powerful tool that can precisely control bacterial interactions at the bio-interface due to its programmability and biorecognition properties. Compared with conventional chemical and genetic approaches, the sequence-specific Watson-Crick interaction enables almost unlimited programmability in DNA nanostructures, realizing one base-pair spatial control and bio-responsive properties. This highlight aims to provide an overview on this emerging research topic of DNA-engineered bacterial interactions from the aspect of synthetic chemists. We start with the introduction of native bacterial surface ligands and established synthetic approaches to install artificial ligands, including direct modification, metabolic engineering, and genetic engineering. A brief overview of DNA nanotechnology, reported DNA-bacteria conjugation chemistries, and several examples of DNA-engineered bacteria are included in this highlight. The future perspectives and challenges in this field are also discussed, including the development of dynamic bacterial surface chemistry, assembly of programmable multicellular community, and realization of bacteria-based theranostic agents and synthetic microbiota as long-term goals.

Abstract
Nanoparticle corona phases, especially those surrounding anisotropic particles, are central to determining their catalytic, molecular recognition, and interfacial properties. It remains a longstanding challenge to chemically synthesize and control such phases at the nanoparticle surface. In this work, the supramolecular chemistry of rosette nanotubes (RNTs), well-defined hierarchically self-assembled nanostructures formed from heteroaromatic bicyclic bases, is used to create molecularly precise and continuous corona phases on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). These RNT-SWCNT (RS) complexes exhibit the lowest solvent-exposed surface area (147.8 ± 60 m-1 ) measured to date due to its regular structure. Through Raman spectroscopy, molecular-scale control of the free volume is also observed between the two annular structures and the effects of confined water. SWCNT photoluminescence (PL) within the RNT is also modulated considerably as a function of their diameter and chirality, especially for the (11, 1) species, where a PL increase compared to other species can be attributed to their chiral angle and the RNT's inward facing electron densities. In summary, RNT chemistry is extended to the problem of chemically defining both the exterior and interior corona interfaces of an encapsulated particle, thereby opening the door to precision control of core-shell nanoparticle interfaces.

Abstract
The assembly of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into high-density horizontal arrays is strongly desired for practical applications, but challenges remain despite myriads of research efforts. Herein, we developed a non-destructive soft-lock drawing method to achieve ultraclean single-walled CNT arrays with a very high degree of alignment (angle standard deviation of ~0.03°). These arrays contained a large portion of nanometre-sized CNT bundles, yielding a high packing density (~400 µm-1) and high current carrying capacity (∼1.8 × 108 A cm-2). This alignment strategy can be generally extended to diverse substrates or sources of raw single-walled CNTs. Significantly, the assembled CNT bundles were used as nanometre electrical contacts of high-density monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) transistors, exhibiting high current density (~38 µA µm-1), low contact resistance (~1.6 kΩ µm), excellent device-to-device uniformity and highly reduced device areas (0.06 µm2 per device), demonstrating their potential for future electronic devices and advanced integration technologies.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes, quintessentially one-dimensional quantum objects, possess a variety of electrical, optical, and mechanical properties that are suited for developing devices that operate on quantum mechanical principles. The states of one-dimensional electrons, excitons, and phonons in carbon nanotubes with exceptionally large quantization energies are promising for high-operating-temperature quantum devices. Here, we discuss recent progress in the development of carbon-nanotube-based devices for quantum technology, i.e., quantum mechanical strategies for revolutionizing computation, sensing, and communication. We cover fundamental properties of carbon nanotubes, their growth and purification methods, and methodologies for assembling them into architectures of ordered nanotubes that manifest macroscopic quantum properties. Most importantly, recent developments and proposals for quantum information processing devices based on individual and assembled nanotubes are reviewed.

Abstract
DNA-wrapped single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) conjugates have distinct optical properties leading to their use in biosensing and imaging applications. A critical limitation in the development of DNA-SWNT sensors is the current inability to predict unique DNA sequences that confer a strong analyte-specific optical response to these sensors. Here, near-infrared (nIR) fluorescence response data sets for ∼100 DNA-SWNT conjugates, narrowed down by a selective evolution protocol starting from a pool of ∼1010 unique DNA-SWNT candidates, are used to train machine learning (ML) models to predict DNA sequences with strong optical response to neurotransmitter serotonin. First, classifier models based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) are trained on sequence features to classify DNA ligands as either high response or low response to serotonin. Second, support vector machine (SVM) regression models are trained to predict relative optical response values for DNA sequences. Finally, we demonstrate with validation experiments that integrating the predictions of ensembles of the highest quality neural network classifiers (convolutional or artificial) and SVM regression models leads to the best predictions of both high and low response sequences. With our ML approaches, we discovered five DNA-SWNT sensors with higher fluorescence intensity response to serotonin than obtained previously. Overall, the explored ML approaches, shown to predict useful DNA sequences, can be used for discovery of DNA-based sensors and nanobiotechnologies.

Abstract
We introduce a new online database of nucleic acid nanostructures for the field of DNA and RNA nanotechnology. The database implements an upload interface, searching and database browsing. Each deposited nanostructures includes an image of the nanostructure, design file, an optional 3D view, and additional metadata such as experimental data, protocol or literature reference. The database accepts nanostructures in any preferred format used by the uploader for the nanostructure design. We further provide a set of conversion tools that encourage design file conversion into common formats (oxDNA and PDB) that can be used for setting up simulations, interactive editing or 3D visualization. The aim of the repository is to provide to the DNA/RNA nanotechnology community a resource for sharing their designs for further reuse in other systems and also to function as an archive of the designs that have been achieved in the field so far. Nanobase.org is available at https://nanobase.org/.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been considered as one of the most promising electronic materials for the next-generation electronics in the more Moore era. Sub-10 nm SWCNT-field effect transistors (FETs) have been realized with several performances exceeding those of Si-based FETs at the same feature size. Several industrial initiatives have attempted to implement SWCNT electronics in integrated circuit (IC) chips. Here, the recent advances in SWCNT electronics are reviewed from in-depth understanding of the fundamental electronic structures, the carrier transport mechanisms, and the metal/SWCNT contact properties. In particular, the subthreshold switching properties are highlighted for low-power, energy-efficient device operations. State-of-the-art low-power SWCNT-based electronics and the key strategies to realize low-voltage and low-power operations are outlined. Finally, the essential challenges and prospects from the material preparation, device fabrication, and large-scale ICs integration for future SWCNT-based electronics are foregrounded.

Abstract
Through 30 years of research, researchers have gained a deep understanding of the synthesis, characteristics, and applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). However, up to now, there are still few industries using CNT as the leading material. The difficulty of CNTs to be applied in industry is the gap between the properties of CNT-based aggregates and those of a single carbon nanotube. Therefore, how to maintain the intrinsic properties of CNTs when they are assembled into aggregates is of great significance. Herein, we summarize and analyze the research status of CNT materials applied in different fields from proven techniques to potential industries, including energy storage, electronics, mechanical and other applications. For each application, the intrinsic properties of CNTs and the real performances of their aggregates are compared to figure out the key problems in CNT synthesis. Finally, we give an outlook for building a bridge for CNTs from nanoscale structure to macroscopic application, giving inspiration to researchers making efforts toward the real application of carbon nanotubes.

Abstract
For thousands of years, carbon ink has been used as a black color pigment for writing and painting purposes. However, recent discoveries of nanocarbon materials, including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and their various derivative forms, together with the advances in large-scale synthesis, are enabling a whole new generation of carbon inks that can serve as an intrinsically programmable materials platform for developing advanced functionalities far beyond color. The marriage between these multifunctional nanocarbon inks with modern printing technologies is facilitating and even transforming many applications, including flexible electronics, wearable and implantable sensors, actuators, and autonomous robotics. This review examines recent progress in the reborn field of carbon inks, highlighting their programmability and multifunctionality for applications in flexible electronics and stimuli-responsive devices. Current challenges and opportunities will also be discussed from a materials science perspective towards the advancement of carbon ink for new applications beyond color.

Abstract
Great efforts have been devoted to searching for efficient catalytic systems to produce ultra-high density single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) arrays, which lay the foundation for future electronic devices. However, one major obstacle for realizing high-density surface-aligned SWNT arrays is the poor stability of metal nanoparticles in chemical vapor deposition catalytic processes. Recently, Trojan catalyst has been reported to yield unprecedented high-density SWNT arrays with 130 SWNTs per µm on the a-plane (11-20) of the sapphire substrate. Herein, a concept of catalyst confinement effect is put forward to revealing the secret of remarkable growth efficiency of SWNT arrays by Trojan catalyst. Combined experimental and theoretical studies indicate that confinement of catalyst nanoparticles on discrete a-plane strips plays a key role in stabilizing the small nanoparticles. The highly dispersive and active states of catalysts are maintained, which promote the growth of super-dense SWNT arrays. By rationally designing the substrate reconstruction process, large areas of dense SWNT arrays (130 SWNTs per µm) covering the entire substrate are obtained. This approach may provide novel ideas for the synthesis of various high-density 1D nanomaterials.

Abstract
The bottom-up approach to directly synthesizing low-dimensional materials with outstanding performance has extended the material basis for the next generation integrated circuit industry. All the low-dimensional semiconductors, metals, dielectrics, and their heterojunctions are very promising bricks to build faster and more efficient chips because of their atomically smooth surface and interfaces. The greatest challenge in the synthesis of nanomaterials is how to precisely control the structure, crystalline orientation, defects, dimensions, etc. In past decades, both the methodology and the mechanism of synthesis have been systematically investigated to improve the controllability. However, few studies focused on sensing the synthesis processes in situ and responding to the synthesis immediately. Here, we propose the concept of intelligent synthesis in which the final product can be automatically fine-controlled by a closed loop including in situ monitoring and real-time interventions. As a model system, a high-temperature-tolerant circuit is fabricated on the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) growth substrate for sensing and responding to the synthesis processes. As a result, either highly pure semiconducting (s-) SWCNT arrays or metallic-semiconducting (m-s) junction arrays with different junction positions is simply synthesized by programming the responding signal. The intelligent synthesis shows much higher efficiency and controllability compared to conventional methods and will lead to the next leap in nanotechnology.

Abstract
Semiconducting carbon nanotubes promise faster performance and lower power consumption than Si in field-effect transistors (FETs) if they can be aligned in dense arrays. Here, we demonstrate that nanotubes collected at a liquid/liquid interface self-organize to form two-dimensional (2D) nematic liquid crystals that globally align with flow. The 2D liquid crystals are transferred onto substrates in a continuous process generating dense arrays of nanotubes aligned within ±6°, ideal for electronics. Nanotube ordering improves with increasing concentration and decreasing temperature due to the underlying liquid crystal phenomena. The excellent alignment and uniformity of the transferred assemblies enable FETs with exceptional on-state current density averaging 520 μA μm−1at only −0.6 V, and variation of only 19%. FETs with ion gel top gates demonstrate subthreshold swing as low as 60 mV decade−1. Deposition across a 10-cm substrate is achieved, evidencing the promise of 2D nanotube liquid crystals for commercial semiconductor electronics.
