Researchers have been able to attach gold nanoparticles to DNA tiles and, by varying the size of the nanoparticles and the presence of DNA stem loops on some tiles, have been able to control the formation from the DNA tiles of various three dimensional DNA nanotubes.
Scientists have now revealed the working mechanism of one of the most powerful molecular motors known to biology.
Research on the interactions between carbon nanotubes and neurons shows that electrical phenomena in nanotubes may lead to engineering interactions between nanomaterials and neurons.
