How a DNA 3D printer could revolutionize nanochip design, enabling optical computing, cheaper microchips, and eco-friendly fabrication.

Columbia University engineers 3D print self-assembling DNA - using biomolecular code to produce nanoscale devices at scale.

Rather, the team wanted to develop a fully-automated, 3D-printing-like method for folding DNA. ... in much the same way that complex 3D models are built on a computer.

In findings published in the journal Nature, scientists explained that 3D-modeling software allowed them to create DNA sequences that would automatically assemble themselves into various shapes ...

A 3D printing lab at the University of Alabama has successfully produced a physical model of the G-quadruplex, a four-stranded DNA sequence, improving understanding of its makeup and potentially ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual element combining to become, for 40 years, the world's tallest building.

Professor Emeritus Jung Ho Je commented, “It holds the potential to expand to the printing of various materials with diverse optical and electrical properties, including complex materials such as ...
