DNA Video: Paul Rothemund, Casting Spells with DNA
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted January 5, 2008 in DNA Podcasts and Videos
From TED:
Paul Rothemund talks about his special skill: DNA origami. By writing a set of instructions — which he compares to “casting a spell” — he can cause bits of DNA to arrange themselves as a smiley face, a star, a triangle. Sure, it’s a stunt, but it’s also a fascinating window into the world of self-assembly at the smallest of scales. In other words: today a smiley face, tomorrow a micro-microprocessor.
