Self-assembled DNA scaffolding builds tiny circuit boards
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and ibm's Almaden Research Center have developed a new technique to orient and position self-assembled DNA shapes and patterns - or "DNA origami" - on surfaces that are compatible with today's semiconductor manufacturing equipment. These precisely positioned DNA nanostructures, each no more than one one-thousandth the width of a human hair, can serve as scaffolds or miniature circuit boards for the precise assembly of computer-chip components. more
