DNA Technique Yields 3-D Crystalline Organization of Nanoparticles
In an achievement some see as the "holy grail" of nanoscience, researchers at Brookhaven have used DNA to guide the creation of three-dimensional, ordered, crystalline structures of nanoparticles. The ability to engineer such 3-D structures is essential to producing functional materials that take advantage of the unique properties that may exist at the nanoscale.
