Disorder is Good – Taming disorder in self-assembled materials with topology
Instead of fighting disorder, we should identify structures that are ordered enough to perform the required function.
We have combined cutting edge experiments with breakthrough methods from topological data analysis to quantify emerging structure in apparently disordered nano-assemblies and classify their response to light. We aim to design a new generation of controllable nanosystems at a fraction of the cost of the current methods.
