Article Abstract
While DNA-directed nano-fabrication enables the high-resolution patterning for conventional electronic materials and devices, the intrinsic self-assembly defects of DNA structures present challenges for further scaling into sub-1 nm technology nodes. The high-dimensional crystallographic defects, including line dislocations and grain boundaries, typically lead to the pattern defects of the DNA lattices. Using periodic line arrays as model systems, we discover that the sequence periodicity mainly determines the formation of line defects, and the defect rate reaches 74% at 8.2-nm line pitch. To suppress high-dimensional defects rate, we develop an effective approach by assigning the orthogonal sequence sets into neighboring unit cells, reducing line defect rate by two orders of magnitude at 7.5-nm line pitch. We further demonstrate densely aligned metal nano-line arrays by depositing metal layers onto the assembled DNA templates. The ultra-scaled critical pitches in the defect-free DNA arrays may further promote the dimension-dependent properties of DNA-templated materials.

The development of new materials is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. Deep learning has emerged as a promising approach to accelerate this process. However, accurately predicting crystal structures using deep learning remains a significant challenge due to the complex, high-dimensional nature of atomic interactions and the scarcity of comprehensive training data that captures the full diversity of possible crystal configurations.

Article Synopsis
- Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) is crucial for material design, and a new model called GAN-DDLSF uses a generative adversarial network to enhance prediction accuracy by combining real crystal data with a Gaussian distribution.
- The model introduces a sampling method, data-driven latent space fusion (DDLSF), to overcome issues like "mode collapse" in traditional GANs, specifically tailored for binary crystal structures like gallium nitride (GaN).
- Results show that GAN-DDLSF can generate over 9,300 GaN structures, with a significant portion being stable or metastable, indicating its potential to greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency of predicting various material structures.

Deep learning techniques can recognize complex patterns in noisy, multidimensional data. In recent years, researchers have started to explore the potential of deep learning in the field of structural biology, including protein crystallography. This field has some significant challenges, in particular producing high-quality and well ordered protein crystals.

Periodic lattices in hyperbolic space are characterized by symmetries beyond Euclidean crystallographic groups, offering a new platform for classical and quantum waves, demonstrating great potential for a new class of topological metamaterials. One important feature of hyperbolic lattices is that their translation group is nonabelian, permitting high-dimensional irreducible representations (irreps), in contrast to abelian translation groups in Euclidean lattices. Here we introduce a general framework to construct wave eigenstates of high-dimensional irreps of infinite hyperbolic lattices, thereby generalizing Bloch's theorem, and discuss its implications on unusual mode counting and degeneracy, as well as bulk-edge correspondence in hyperbolic lattices.
