Marking a significant advancement in molecular robotics, researchers have created custom-designed and programmable nanostructures using DNA origami. The University of Sydney Nano Institute team ...

Chemists present two studies that open up new possibilities for biotechnological applications. LMU chemists present two studies that open up new possibilities for biotechnological applications. In the ...

Scientists have created the world’s first working nanoscale electomotor. The science team designed a turbine engineered from DNA that is powered by hydrodynamic flow inside a nanopore, a ...

(Nanowerk News) DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes and other molecules, computes everything from hair color to risk of developing diseases. Harnessing that prowess and ...

To assemble these minuscule structures, researchers first create a scaffold: a long piece of single-stranded DNA with a carefully designed sequence of bases. Then they add hundreds of shorter DNA ...

DNA origami is a technique used for the nanoscale folding of DNA to develop two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes at a nanoscale range. No bigger than a virus, each of these ...

Researchers bolster antitumor immune defenses using cancer vaccines made from DNA origami. “One of the attractive things about DNA origami is how relatively simple it is for anybody to design,” Shih ...
