In one sentence: DNA origami is a self-assembly technique that folds a long single-stranded DNA molecule into precisely defined nanoscale shapes using hundreds of short, computer-designed staple ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Due to their nanoprecise spacing of adjuvant molecules (shown as green ribbons on one face of their squareblock structures), DoriVac vaccines, after being taken up by antigen-presenting immune cells, ...
