Abstract in brief

This research presents a method for designing complex 3D nanomaterials by using DNA-based building blocks called voxels, which can bond in specific directions to form ordered structures.
By understanding the symmetry and repeating patterns in these structures, the scientists can precisely control the assembly process, improving the accuracy of creating desired 3D arrangements.
The approach allows for the creation of various advanced nanostructures, including those with intricate motifs like helices and layered materials, which have potential applications in optics and photonics.
