Illinois researchers developed a nanorobotic hand made of DNA that can grab viruses for detection or inhibition. In this artist’s rendering, three “NanoGripper” hands wrap around a COVID-19 virus.
Practitioners of traditional origami can fold tiny, colorful bits of paper and make high art. But the growing group of scientists who practice DNA origami can fold genetic code itself, creating ...
A tiny, four-fingered 'hand' folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection and can even block viral particles from entering cells to ...
