Scientists have designed the first large DNA crystals with
precisely prescribed depths and complex 3D features, which could create
revolutionary nanodevices
DNA has garnered attention for its potential as a
programmable material platform that could spawn entire new and revolutionary
nanodevices in computer science, microscopy, biology, and more. Researchers
have been working to master the ability to coax DNA molecules to self assemble
into the precise shapes and sizes needed in order to fully realize these
nanotechnology dreams.
