They also demonstrate successful assembly of unconventional "buffer" substances including nickel. These developments, published in the journal Science Advances, unlock new possibilities in DNA ...

By leveraging DNA’s self-assembling capabilities, Columbia’s research marks a step toward a future where electronics build ...

It was the beginning of assisted self-assembly of individual DNA molecules. Nanogen's most recent US patent, 6,652,808, is one of a group of patents built on the concept. The patent describes an ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have for the first time used DNA to help create 3D electronically operational devices ...

Chip-integrated 3D nanostructured device fabricated using DNA self-assembly (Left panel). A DNA crystal is grown at a designated substrate location (about 1000 crystals on 5μm pads are shown on a ...

but we are a long way from having an assembly line of C3POs self-replicating. On the other hand, animals — including humans — self-replicate all the time using DNA. Now, scientists are making ...

They scrounged up the money to attend the conference. Winfree’s talk touched on Seeman’s work on the self-assembly of DNA structures: the spontaneous organization of molecules due to attractive forces ...

Molecular programming is essentially biochemistry, where the ‘programs’ created are methods of selecting molecules that interact to achieve a specific result through DNA self-assembly. This process ...

Self-assembly also shows great promise in the field of biomedical engineering. By using self-assembly to create complex biomolecules such as DNA or proteins, researchers hope to develop new drugs, ...
