Magnetic handshake materials as a scale-invariant platform for programmed self-assembly

Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Programmable self-assembly of smart, digital, and structurally complex materials from simple components at size scales from the macro to the nano remains a long-standing goal of material science. Here, we introduce a platform based on magnetic encoding of information to drive programmable self-assembly that works across length scales. Our building ...
