Non-equilibrium anisotropic colloidal single crystal growth with DNA

Colloidal crystal engineering with DNA can be used to synthesize highly anisotropic hexagonal prismatic microcrystals. This manuscript introduces a plane multiplicity mechanism that can be used to deliberately design non-equilibrium Wulff shapes, a capability important in many areas, including optic...
