A strong moment for Northwestern, Mattiq, and Illinois.

At the IIN and NU spinout Mattiq, materials discovery is already linking the quantum and nanoscales.

Now, quantum algorithms are entering the picture.

@NUChemistry @MirkinGroupNU @UofT He left an indelible mark, left us far too soon, and will be greatly missed.

@NUChemistry @MirkinGroupNU @UofT among graduate students and postdocs. He received one of the first Harry Gray ACS Awards, an honor of which he was justifiably proud.
Dwight was a true scientist and a true friend. He cared deeply about getting it right, both in his work and in his personal relationships.

The discovery of C60 in 1985 reshaped our understanding of materials.

At the 40th anniversary celebration, strong parallels were made with the discovery of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs), a new form of one of the most important molecules ever synthesized by chemists.

New from the Mirkin Lab in JACS: “Inverse design of DNA-programmable protein colloidal crystals.”

DNA hybridization guides proteins into programmable crystalline lattices with tunable structure and size.

We’re diving into another exciting day of #NUChemistry research, discussions, and networking! Here’s what’s on the agenda for Wednesday at #ACSSpring2025:

@CHADNANO talks tesselated #particle assembly (@IINanoNU)

[Northwestern Chemistry @NUChemistry]

Tuesday at #ACSSpring2025:
#Nanomaterial megalibraries with @CHADNANO (@MirkinGroupNU).

[International Institute for Nanotechnology @IINanoNU]

Breakthrough alert!

Published today in Advanced Materials, IIN researchers led by Chad Mirkin & Vinayak Dravid introduce innovative "phase-separating" nanoreactors, unlocking nanoparticle megalibraries across almost the entire periodic table.
