Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

DNA, the medium of life, is so deeply associated with the biochemical world that considering its nonbiological applications may seem far-fetched. However, for researchers in the 1980s and 1990s ...

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 ...

DNA nanotechnology has become an intense research field, with hundreds of research labs engaged in it, based on the idea that DNA can be used as a programmable structural material for the creation of ...
