Ground has been broken on developing “computers” made of DNA. Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China demonstrated that they could build DNA integrated circuits (DICs) for ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Manipulating the flow of light with nanoscale precision has been a grand challenge in optics, as it requires the ability to precisely position building blocks like metallic ...

AMES, Iowa – Scientists have been making nanoparticles out of DNA strands for two decades, manipulating the bonds that maintain DNA’s double-helical shape to sculpt self-assembling structures that ...

A group of bioengineers at Arizona State University have come up with an ingenious approach to create DNA origami nanostructures using a LEGO robot as a gradient mixer. JONATHAN NACKSTRAND/AFP via ...

(Nanowerk News) A collaborative team of researchers led by prof. Cees Dekker at TU Delft, in partnership with international colleagues, introduces a pioneering breakthrough in the world of nanomotors ...

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 ...

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 ...

William Shih, a biochemist at Harvard Medical School, explores ways to construct tiny structures out of DNA for biomedical applications. By building on DNA origami, a method for programming DNA to ...
