Biological materials are self-assembled with near-atomic precision in living cells, whereas
synthetic 3D structures generally lack such precision and controllability. Recently, DNA …

DNA is traditionally known as a central genetic biomolecule in living systems. From an
alternative perspective, DNA is a versatile molecular building-block for the construction of …

Over the past decade, we have seen rapid advances in applying nanotechnology in
biomedical areas including bioimaging, biodetection, and drug delivery. As an emerging …

DNA has become one of the most extensively used molecular building blocks for
engineering self-assembling materials. DNA origami is a technique that uses hundreds of …

Abstract 'Bottom-up fabrication', which exploits the intrinsic properties of atoms and
molecules to direct their self-organization, is widely used to make relatively simple …

Molecular self-assembly offers a 'bottom-up'route to fabrication with subnanometre precision
of complex structures from simple components. DNA has proved to be a versatile building …
