"We wanted to make a soft material, nanoscale robot with grabbing functions that never have been seen before." Researchers ...

6 DNA origami is a nanoscale DNA folding technique whereby long, single-stranded pieces DNA self-assemble into two- and three-dimensional shapes. To coax the DNA into a specific shape, shorter ...

DNA nanotechnology is a field of nanotechnology that uses DNA molecules as building blocks to create structures and devices on the nanoscale, including the emerging field of DNA computing. DNA ...

The paper, by R. Veneziano at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA, and colleagues was titled, 'Designer nanoscale DNA assemblies programmed from the top down.' ...

Nanoscale DNA structures self-assembled from DNA bricks. Each brick is a short sythetic singlestranded DNA. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 30, 2012, issue of Science ...

To enable parallel sequencing, the authors used a chip with thousands of nanoscale wells containing an immobilized DNA polymerase bound to a primed DNA template to be sequenced (Fig. 1).

Can DNA-nanoparticle motors get up to speed with motor proteins? Researchers use the knowledge of molecular motors to enhance the nanoscale artificial motor in hopes of leveling out the speed ...

Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

specifically the molecular self-assembly process known as DNA origami, has emerged as a versatile approach to fabricate nanodevices with complex nanoscale geometry, defined placement of molecular ...

DNA elasticity and DNA-protein interactions, coupled linear aggregation and liquid-crystal ordering, and analysis of mass spectra in proteomics. Our group works in the broader field of developing ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science aimed to level out the speed difference between artificial motors and motor proteins by improving the nanoscale artificial ... Image Credit: ...
