DNA Nanotechnology: A foundation for Programmable Nanoscale Materials
DNA nanotechnology: A foundation for programmable nanoscale materials. This issue of MRS Bulletin overviews the unique capabilities of DNA nanotechnology, with the aim of promoting the integration of DNA nanotechnology into materials science. The focus is on the use of artificial DNA systems to organize and reconfigure functional nanomaterials. The articles in the issue highlight a wide range of applications, from new DNA-based lithographies and plasmonic optical devices to DNA boxes that control the activity of enzymes. The cover illustrates the power and versatility of DNA self-assembly to program nanoscale geometry. Three polyhedra highlight the field’s progress toward fully automated design. Each DNA double helix has a diameter of 2 nm, and the maximum dimension of the star is 100 nm.
