Optimizing DNA Origami Nanostructures
Learn how a computational tool optimizes DNA origami assembly by minimizing sequence errors, advancing future biomedical and agritech applications.

Nanometer nanotubes for future electronics
Researchers in Japan created some of the world’s smallest semiconducting nanotubes, structures 100,000 times thinner than a human hair. By growing molybdenum disulfide inside protective tubes of boron nitride, researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, produced highly uniform tubes just 1 nanometer wide, a scale at which it’s difficult to make stable nanotube structures. The work confirms decades-old theoretical predictions about how these ultrafine materials behave and could also provide a new route toward miniaturized electronic devices.
