Scientists create nanostructures using DNA, potentially revolutionizing drug delivery and materials science.
Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed programmable nanostructures using DNA origami, a technique that shapes DNA into complex 3D structures. This method could lead to advancements in targeted drug delivery, responsive materials, and energy-efficient optical signal processing. The team created over 50 nanoscale objects, including a "nano-dinosaur," demonstrating the potential for building intricate nanorobots and adaptive materials.
