🚨 New in @AdvPortfolio from @CHADNANO & @MirkinGroupNU: "Programming Defects and Cavities into Colloidal Crystals Engineered with DNA". Designing crystal imperfections with #DNA opens new paths in #materialsscience. https://t.co/B9UpUENzgz
Excited to present recent work from my postdoc and a chemical education project from my time at Northwestern (recently out in J Chem Ed!) at the ACS Spring 2025 Meeting next week!
A proud moment for the #MirkinGroup as we commemorate 33 years of excellence in nanotechnology! 🎉 Thank you to all our collaborators and supporters for being part of this incredible journey. #Mirkinute33#Nano
The 4th Rising Stars in Soft and Biological Matter symposium is on October 12-13, organized by UChicago & UCSD MRSECs (@UChiMaterials). Register for this virtual event so you can log in from anywhere to hear fantastic talks from postdocs and students! https://t.co/GlzOF56Ah0
It’s national nano day and I was super excited to see a giant version of some of my colloidal crystals from last year’s image contest at NUANCE fest! About 1 cm in this banner is equivalent to 10 nm, which is the diameter of the gold nanoparticles that make up these crystals!
So excited to share our latest work in Advanced Materials! We patterned DNA in hydrogels with single micron resolution. This method allows us to build complex signaling environments for studying cell biology: https://t.co/7AUR4Eo7OX
In biological systems, DNA serves as the blueprint for proteins. Scientists also use specially-created DNA to program nanomaterials. With @advancedphoton, researchers @NUFeinbergMed found new ways to improve this process: https://t.co/1QC4reN6ue
Northwestern investigators have demonstrated that fine-tuning #DNA interaction strength can improve colloidal #CrystalEngineering to enhance their use in creating an array of functional #Nanomaterials, according to a recent study published in @acsnano.

I’ve been going to Argonne for SAXS experiments for five years now but I’ve never seen this view from above the APS! Excited for the ASAXS workshop today!
Our friends at @WGNNews stopped by for the return of All Scout Nano Day, one of our favorite days of the year. We loved welcoming these young scientists to campus and are always impressed by their knowledge, curiosity, and enthusiasm. @CHADNANO https://t.co/jbBP7SvyqJ
We are excited to share the news that Christy has been appointed @UMNChemistry's Department Head! In our university's 119-year history, Christy will be the FIRST female chemistry department head - we are proud to have her represent and lead us! @UMNCSE @UMNAlleyne #umnproud
Heading to Indianapolis for #ACSSpring2023 today! I am presenting tomorrow, at SciMix Monday, and on Wednesday. Kyle will present our collaborative work on Wednesday as well! I’m excited to hear from everyone and to share what we have been working on in the Mirkin group!

A fascinating lesson by @MirkinGroupNU Ph.D. candidate Katie Landy (@kt_landy) on connections between foundational concepts in chemistry and modern nanotechnology. https://t.co/gnYbgnLfUY
Excited to share that our work on open-channel metal particle superlattices is finally out in @Nature! We show a new way of building porous crystals with highly tunable pore size and topology. @NorthwesternU @ResearchNU https://t.co/V3v4yPE2qV
