Entropy Stabilizes Floppy Crystals of Mobile DNA-Coated Colloids

Entropy Stabilizes Floppy Crystals of Mobile DNA-Coated Colloids

Grafting linkers with open ends of complementary single-stranded DNA makes a flexible tool to tune interactions between colloids,which facilitates the design of complex self-assembly structures. Recently, it has been proposed to coat colloids with mobile DNA linkers, which alleviates kinetic barriers without high-density grafting, and also allows the design of …
