Fluid Dynamics Plays a Crucial Role in Self-Assembled Structures Made by Attaching DNA to Nanoscale Building Blocks

By attaching short sequences of single-stranded DNA to nanoscale building blocks, researchers can design structures that can effectively build themselves. The building blocks that are meant to connect have complementary DNA sequences on their surfaces, ensuring only the correct pieces bind together as they jostle into one another while suspended in a test tube.
