Valency and bonding on a larger scale In molecular systems, valency describes the number of bonds an atom can make with its neighbors. Larger objects such as colloids can be linked together to make connected structures in which the number of connections, or valency, is controlled by the central object. Jones et al. review the two main approaches to creating stiff bonds, based on DNA-based materials synthesis. These approaches allow the construction of molecular-like objects from building blocks much larger than single atoms. Science , this issue 10.1126/science.1260901
