A group of ≈500 scientists, students, and staff, studying the physics and chemistry of condensed matter, ranging from lithium batteries to quantum technologies.
These programmable lattices could power advances in spintronics, nanophotonics & metamaterials — with uses from quantum scaffolds to soft robotics.
This is about expanding what’s buildable at the molecular level.

Instead of stacking materials manually, they encode twist angles & lattice geometry into the DNA itself, then let it self-assemble into moiré patterns with nanometer precision.
A new bottom-up method to build square, honeycomb & kagome lattices — even gradient structures!
