Presenter William Shih, Harvard Professor William is overseeing an effort to apply Synthetic Biology approaches to the development of self-assembling DNA nanostructures and devices for use in biomedical applications. In addition to carrying genetic information, DNA is increasingly being explored for its use as a building material. This new process is called DNA origami because… Continue reading William Shih, Harvard Professor | Multi-Micron Crisscross Structures Grown from DNA-Origami Slats
Presenters Alexis Courbet, University of Washington The conversion of chemical energy into mechanical work can be regarded as the most technologically transformative advances of modern science. Yet, even decades after Feynman’s insights on molecular machines, the capability to perform useful work remains limited to the macroscale. The realization that natural molecular motors generate mechanical forces… Continue reading Universal Constructor

Presenter Andrew Turberfield, Oxford Professor Professor of Biological Physics. “We work with synthetic biomolecular nanostructures built by self-assembly. Nucleic acid nanostructures are atomically precise and dynamically reconfigurable: by designing synthetic strands of DNA or RNA we can create autonomous molecular systems that sense, compute and actuate. We are developing the physics and technology of functional… Continue reading Andrew Turberfield, Oxford Professor | Software-Facilitated Design Atomically Precise Manufacture
Presenter Erik Benson, researcher at Oxford University Working on building small structures and machines from DNA. Summary: Erik Benson, researcher at Oxford University, presented a brief overview of DNA origami mechanisms. His primary project is the construction of a simple 2D printer built out of DNA origami. Three structures – rails, a print head, and… Continue reading Erik Benson, researcher at Oxford University | Nanoscale Machinery from DNA
Foresight’s Healing the Planet Accelerator: Radical Progress Human activities have pushed our ecosystem well past its carrying capacity. We are running out of time. Healing the Planet Accelerator: Radical Progress is meant to accelerate the work of innovators out there who are ready to tackle climate and ecosystem destabilization on a radical, systemic, large-scale basis—to propose… Continue reading 2020 Healing the Planet Accelerator
