Nanoscopic DNA chips assembled using the DNA origami method enable target detection in solution and hold promise for single-cell gene expression analysis. In 2006 Paul Rothemund of the California ...

Researchers use DNA origami to create programmable nanostructures, enabling drug delivery, adaptive materials, and more.

One of the most promising applications of this technology is its ability to create nanorobots capable of delivering drugs.

Another key development in DNA nanotechnology was Paul Rothemund's invention of DNA origami in 2006. It involves using a long single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) that is folded into designated shapes with the ...
