A recent paper in ACS Nano showing that icosahedral quasicrystals can be formed by a single type of patchy particle: doi.org/10.1021/acsn...
A One-Component Patchy-Particle Icosahedral Quasicrystal
Designing particles that are able to form icosahedral quasicrystals (IQCs) and that are as simple as possible is not only of fundamental interest but is also important to the potential realization of ...

Our new paper is just out in PNAS:
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

It is about nucleic acid strand displacement, which is a key reaction in molecular computation, and part of the success of the oxDNA model comes from the fact it can efficiently simulate this process.
