Nanocube Orientation

Caption

Depending on the thickness of the DNA shell, the nanocubes assemble into a simple cubic lattice with a face-to-face orientation (d1), a body-centered tetragonal lattice with a zigzag orientation (d2), or a body-centered cubic lattice with a zigzag orientation (d3). The green and beige colors represent nanocubes with noncomplementary DNA.
