These DNA Structures Could Rewrite the Rules of Light, Sound, and Matter

In a stunning leap forward, scientists have engineered DNA to act as a molecular architect, building intricate moiré superlattices with unprecedented control. By programming twist angles and geometric patterns directly into DNA strands, researchers have created self-assembling nanostructures that could revolutionize everything from optics to quantum materials. These DNA-built lattices form on their own in [...]
