Nonequilibrium design strategies for functional colloidal assemblies

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Avishek Das, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We use a nonequilibrium variational principle to optimize the steady-state, shear-induced interconversion of self-assembled nanoclusters of DNA-coated colloids. Employing this principle within a stochastic optimization algorithm allows us to discover design strategies for functional materials. We find […]
