scientists use DNA Origami to create 2D structures



nano-platform ready:NYU, University of Melbourne scientists use DNA Origami to create 2D structures

Scientists at New York University and the University of Melbourne have developed a method using DNA origami to turn one-dimensional nano materials into two dimensions. Their breakthrough, published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Nanotechnology, offers the potential to enhance fiber optics and electronic devices by reducing their size and increasing their speed.
