A scaffolded DNA computer in a 35-microliter magnesium-buffered droplet used molecular competition to make the low-energy ...

Forty-four years ago, Nadrian Seeman published his groundbreaking ideas on using DNA as a structural material, expanding ...

A vertical, purple double helix has a bumpy, light-blue shape attached at the bottom and a blue cross made of many strands at the top. One end of the cross is bright pink and has dots around it, and a ...

Once used to fold DNA into nanoscale shapes, DNA origami is now emerging as a programmable platform for smarter diagnostics, targeted therapies, and next-generation nano-enabled devices From Blueprint ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A combination of science and art: folding DNA like origami into a super tiny longhorn. Researchers at UT Austin are using the building blocks of life to construct the smallest ...

Vaccines that can elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) help to provide immunity against multiple strains of the same virus. One approach to boost the rare B cells that generate bnAbs is to ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA origami for silicon surfaces and investigated how different conditions affect ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

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.
