DNA Nanotechnology Origami Structures

"...demonstrated fully programmable assemblies capable of complex patterning with applications for nanoscale circuits"

Executive Summary

Professor William Shih’s Harvard University lab is using DNA origami to construct fully addressable, programmable nanoscale 2D and 3D objects.

In addition to carrying genetic information, DNA is increasingly being explored for its use as a building material. This new process is called DNA origami because a long strand of DNA can be pro…
