Programming cell behavior with RNA nanotechnology

Nanotech applications based upon modules of RNA that bind small molecules to control the catalytic activity of other RNA modules may form the basis for a wide variety of synthetic molecular machines.

Computational nanotechnology designs more efficient material for solar cells

Combining electrically conductive polymers, transition metal atoms, and spin-coating to form thin films could lead to solar cells with two major advantages that would make them more efficient at converting light to electricity.

Functionally connecting protein domains adds to nanotechnology toolbox

Scientists were able to engineer functional communication between two unrelated proteins by taking advantage of the fact that each protein exhibits allosteric regulation.

Structural DNA nanotechnology in living cells

Two basic structural motifs of DNA nanotechnology have been efficiently and inexpensively replicated in bacterial cells.

Cut-and-paste single molecule nanotechnology using DNA

A group of German scientists have developed a new slant on DNA nanotechnology by using atomic force microscopy to assemble a DNA scaffold on a surface to which molecular building blocks can then bind.

Flipping a pair of atoms back and forth using nanotechnology

Upon exposure to electrons from an STM tip, pairs of platinum atoms on a germanium surface can be made to pivot on one atom, swinging back and forth like a flipper on a pinball machine.

Consortium for atomically precise manufacturing awarded $9.7 M to develop advanced nanotechnology

DARPA and a Texas fund have awarded $9.7M to investigate one nanotech path toward atomically precise manufacturing.

DNA nanotubes of programmed circumference for nanotechnology

The newest addition to the toolkit for using DNA as a nanotech building block is the ability to program the circumference of nanotubes made from DNA.

Lining up proteins for nanotechnology

Advanced nanotech might benefit if proteins could be arrayed on a surface so that they could be quickly and easily scanned for function or interactions with other molecules.

Nanotechnology advances toward atomically precise control of nanoparticle surfaces

UK scientists have developed a combined computational and experimental method to determine how specific peptides self-assemble on the surface of a gold nanoparticle.
