When it comes to creating nanotechnology, one cannot simply build it with their hands. Instead, researchers need something nano-sized that is able to self-assemble. DNA origami is a method of creating nano-sized shapes by folding strands of DNA. This can be used to manufacture nanomachines, sensors, and nanorobots for use in fields ranging from biophysics to physical computing.
