title: Highly connected two-dimensional crystals of DNA six-point-stars.
abstract: This paper reports a novel DNA six-point-star motif assembled from only three different DNA single-strands. This motif readily assembles into hexagonal two-dimensional arrays with high connectivity. Such a high connectivity could potentially improve the array stability.
