UPTON, NY--Scientists have designed and synthesized chains of molecules with a precise sequence and length to efficiently protect 3-D DNA nanostructures from structural degradation under a variety of ...

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, describes how researchers designed molecules known as "peptoid-coated DNA origami" that can protect 3-D DNA nanostructures ...

Scientists in China have developed a way to turn origami into wearable devices and soft robotics by coating it with liquid metal. The metal-coated paper can be folded as usual, but is enhanced by the ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have devised a new way to build nanomaterials that can maintain their structural integrity and functionality in ways relevant to drug delivery. The team developed a class of ...
