In one sentence: DNA origami is a self-assembly technique that folds a long single-stranded DNA molecule into precisely defined nanoscale shapes using hundreds of short, computer-designed staple ...

A vaccine designed using "DNA origami" activated more of the key immune cells needed to fight HIV than did traditional vaccines built upon protein scaffolds, a new mouse study found. "DNA origami" ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have uncovered key principles that govern how DNA "origami" structures fold, ...
