Switchable Nanostructures Made with DNA (PhysOrg)

Tuesday, December 22, 2009 | Technology

(PhysOrg.com) — Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy`s Brookhaven National Laboratory have found a new way to use a synthetic form of DNA to control the assembly of nanoparticles - this time resulting in switchable, three-dimensional and small-cluster structures that might be useful, for example, as biosensors, in solar cells, and as new materials for data storage. The work is described …
