报告摘要
Engineered nanomaterials are of broad interest and utility for improving human health and sustainability. Toward this end, it is important to develop reliable strategies to engineer them with controlled size, shape, composition, structure, and surface. In this talk, I will present several strategies for controlled synthesis of engineered nanomaterials with unique optical and electronic functionalities and their DNA- and protein- directed self-assembly.
