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 ...

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.

DNA origami and beyond. A) DNA octahedron that inspired development of DNA origami. B) 2D DNA origami (smiley face serves as an example). C) Hollow 3D DNA origami shapes that are folded from 2D ...

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 ...

The tiny motor could help spark research into future applications such as building molecular factories for useful chemicals or medical probes of molecules inside the bloodstream to detect diseases ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown ...

A coarse-grained model of the DNA origami lilypad used in the study. The tails hanging down indicate where redox reporters are located. For scale, the diameter of the disk is approximately 80 nm.

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 ...

Researchers bolster antitumor immune defenses using cancer vaccines made from DNA origami. “One of the attractive things about DNA origami is how relatively simple it is for anybody to design,” Shih ...
