Spaghetti-like, DNA 'noodle origami' the new shape of things to come for nanotechnology

Scientists have invented a major new advance in DNA nanotechnology. Dubbed ‘single-stranded origami,’ their new strategy uses one long, thin noodle-like strand of DNA, or its chemical cousin RNA, that can self-fold – without even a single knot – into the largest, most complex structures to date. The strands forming these structures can be made inside living cells, opening up the potential for nanomedicine.
