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 ...

Folded, origami-like DNA attached to a glass surface, as shown in this illustration, store data for fast, rewritable DNA-based computation. DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes ...

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 ...

A team has used a process known as DNA origami to make electrochemical sensors that can quickly detect and measure biomarkers. Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have ...
