Article Abstract
In this article, we introduce a framework for the geometric design and fabrication of a family of geometrically interlocking space-filling shapes, which we call woven tiles. Our framework is based on a unique combination of (1) Voronoi partitioning of space using curve segments as the Voronoi sites and (2) the design of these curve segments based on weave patterns closed under symmetry operations. The underlying weave geometry provides an interlocking property to the tiles and the closure property under symmetry operations ensure single tile can fill space. In order to demonstrate this general framework, we focus on specific symmetry operations induced by fabric weaving patterns. We specifically showcase the design and fabrication of woven tiles on flat and curved domains by using the most common 2-fold fabrics, namely, plain, twill, and satin weaves. We further evaluate and compare the mechanical behavior of the so created woven tiles through finite element analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses advancements in DNA origami nanotechnology, focusing on a method to create patterned self-assembled nanostructures using rolling circle amplification products (RPs).
- This new approach simplifies construction by using fewer DNA components, allowing for self-folding into grid-patterned ribbons without the need for numerous staple strands.
- The resulting DNA framework (FP) can be easily modified for precise placement of nanoparticles and proteins, paving the way for applications in biotechnology, nanomedicine, and other fields requiring precise molecular organization.

Fabrics-materials consisting of layers of woven fibres-are some of the most important materials in everyday life. Previous nanoscale weaves include isotropic crystalline covalent organic frameworks that feature rigid helical strands interlaced in all three dimensions, rather than the two-dimensional layers of flexible woven strands that give conventional textiles their characteristic flexibility, thinness, anisotropic strength and porosity. A supramolecular two-dimensional kagome weave and a single-layer, surface-supported, interwoven two-dimensional polymer have also been reported.

Architectural designs for DNA nanostructures typically fall within one of two broad categories: tile-based designs (assembled from chemically synthesized oligonucleotides) and origami designs (woven structures employing a biological scaffold strand and synthetic staple strands). Both previous designs typically contain many Holliday-type multi-arm junctions. Here we describe the design, implementation, and testing of a unique architectural strategy incorporating some aspects of each of the two previous design categories but without multi-arm junction motifs.

We have immobilized the mineralizing agent alkaline phosphatase (AlkP) in a hydrophilic polymer: poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) - (pHEMA) - in a copolymerization technique. Histochemical study on polymer sections revealed that AlkP has retained its enzymic activity. The image analysis of sections using a tessellation method showed a lognormal distribution of the area of the tiles surrounding AlkP particles, thus confirming a homogeneous distribution of the enzyme in the polymer.
