DNA origami pads with site-specific patterns of ssDNA are flexible molecular templates for gold nanoparticles to self-assemble into functional supracolloidal structures [1]. The structure-property relation of supracolloidal structures play a significant role in constructing novel materials with desired properties for application in devices [2]. However, this relation has not been adequately understood. The study focuses on investigating the self-assembly and kinetic processes in supracolloidal structures using (scanning) transmission electron microscopy [(S)TEM] both in vacuum and in the liquid phase. Images of gold nanoparticles attached to DNA origami were acquired under vacuum and in-situ in the liquid phase, highlighting the possibility of real-time visualizations at the nanometer scale in different environments. The measured distances between gold nanoparticles in liquid confirm the intended templating mechanism.
