Main Methods:

Utilizing DNA sequences designed for specific chiral selection of SWCNTs.
Employing streptavidin and gold nanoparticle (AuNP) labeling to verify SWCNT chirality at the junction.
Assembling nanohybrids from solution into functional device architectures.

Main Results:

Successfully demonstrated the controlled assembly of linear SWCNT-DNA-SWCNT junctions.
Verified the presence of two different SWCNT chiralities within individual junctions using labeling techniques.
Showcased the organization of these 1D nanohybrids from solution into functional devices.

Conclusions:

Developed a generalizable strategy for assembling functional nanohybrids using DNA-mediated SWCNT linkages.
This approach enables precise control over SWCNT chirality in assembled structures.
