With the total amount of worldwide data skyrocketing, the global data storage demand is
predicted to grow to 1.75× 1014 GB by 2025. Traditional storage methods have difficulties …

DNA is traditionally known as a central genetic biomolecule in living systems. From an
alternative perspective, DNA is a versatile molecular building-block for the construction of …

BACKGROUND Hydrogels are formed through the cross-linking of hydrophilic polymer
chains within an aqueous microenvironment. The gelation can be achieved through a …

DNA has become one of the most extensively used molecular building blocks for
engineering self-assembling materials. DNA origami is a technique that uses hundreds of …

In nature, DNA molecules carry the hereditary information. But DNA has physical and
chemical properties that make it attractive for uses beyond heredity. In this Review, we …

This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

Molecular biology provides an inspiring proof-of-principle that chemical systems can store
and process information to direct molecular activities such as the fabrication of complex …

Researchers have worked for many decades to master the rules of biomolecular design that
would allow artificial biopolymer complexes to self-assemble and function similarly to the …

Development of biosensing platforms plays a key role in research settings for identification
of biomarkers and in clinical applications for diagnostics. Biosensors based on nucleic acids …

We describe a simple and robust method to construct complex three-dimensional (3D)
structures by using short synthetic DNA strands that we call “DNA bricks.” In one-step …
