    Control of swarming of molecular robots

    Recently we demonstrated swarming of a self-propelled biomolecular motor system microtubule (MT)-kinesin where interactions among thousands of motile MTs were regulated in a highly programmable fashion by usin...

    DNA-assisted swarm control in a biomolecular motor system

    In nature, swarming behavior has evolved repeatedly among motile organisms because it confers a variety of beneficial emergent properties. These include improved information gathering, protection from predator...

    A DNA aptamer recognising a malaria protein biomarker can function as part of a DNA origami assembly

    DNA aptamers have potential for disease diagnosis and as therapeutics, particularly when interfaced with programmable molecular technology. Here we have combined DNA aptamers specific for the malaria biomarker Pl...

    Nanomechanical DNA origami 'single-molecule beacons' directly imaged by atomic force microscopy

    DNA origami involves the folding of long single-stranded DNA into designed structures with the aid of short staple strands; such structures may enable the development of useful nanomechanical DNA devices. Here...
