Improved molecular targeting via cellular automata

In simplest terms, cellular automata can be thought of as groups of ‘cells’ in which the state of an individual cell will flip depending on the states of its neighbors. A ‘cell’ can be a pixel, a molecule, etc. The mathematical rules associated with cellular automation are complex and have been applied to fields as… Continue reading Improved molecular targeting via cellular automata

Nanoscale box aids single-molecule optical detection

Good old fashioned boxes are here to stay, even in the context of nanoscale devices. Across a broad range of technologies and size regimes, boxes serve as containers for components, barriers against contaminants and/or radiation, and, as in the case of cell membranes, can be permeable to allow selected interactions between the interior and exterior.… Continue reading Nanoscale box aids single-molecule optical detection

DNA nanotechnology positions components to optimize single-molecule fluorescence

A pillar constructed and positioned using DNA nanotechnology holds two gold nanoparticles and a dye molecule to enhance fluorescence over a hundred fold.

Reviews of DNA nanotechnology-atomically precise microscale objects

Two open access reviews portray the widening approach of DNA nanotechnology toward more complex atomically precise systems.

DNA nanotechnology builds solar energy antenna

A simple DNA scaffold organizes light-collecting molecules for artificial photosynthesis.

Mass production of higher quality oligonucleotides to spur DNA nanotechnology

Biotechnology-based isolation and amplification of sequence-verified clones of DNA oligonucleotides will provide longer and less expensive materials for building complex DNA nanostructures and nanomachinery.

RNA-protein motor for unidirectional movement of DNA in nanomachinery

Revolution of DNA around a central channel, rather than rotation, is the method used by a viral molecular motor to package DNA. A structure facilitating bottom-up assembly may lead to roles in nanotechnology for these nanomotors.

Nanotechnology revolution: An interview with Eric Drexler

In anticipation of Eric Drexler’s new book, Forbes contributor Bruce Dorminey interviews him about the meaning of nanotechnology and its revolutionary prospects. Selected excerpt: … In what fields would APM cause the most pronounced economic disruption and the collapse of global supply chains to more local chains? The digital revolution had far-reaching effects on information… Continue reading Nanotechnology revolution: An interview with Eric Drexler

Re-engineering a junction to give a new twist to DNA nanotechnology

By forcing the geometry of the junctions upon which DNA nanotechnology depends, researchers have increased the collection of 2D and 3D structures that they can build to include wire frames and mesh structures.

Computationally designed peptide sneaks nanoparticles past immune system

Nanoparticles decorated to avoid immune system recognition were tested in mice and shown to survive longer and deliver more imaging dye and drug to tumor cells.
