Research on DNA Nanotubes Leads to New Means for Direct Communication with Cells

A remarkable microscopic feat resembling a high-wire circus act was achieved by Johns Hopkins researchers when they successfully managed to coax DNA nanotubes to arrange themselves into bridge-like structures arched between two molecular landmarks on the surface of a lab dish. Examples of this unusual nanoscale feat were captured on video.
