| Abstract | Ultrasmall particles with nanoscale dimensions, often referred to as nanoparticles, are potent new agents for treatment of cancers, preservation of vaccines and inhibition of harmful otherwise untreatable bacterial infections. The geometric shape of the nanoparticles plays a significant role in their medical efficacy but understanding how to make particles with complex shapes, which serve the patients well, is also critical. This project will extend the concept of lock-and-key interactions betwe |
