DNA-based molecular lithography for nanoscale fabrication.

Taking a cue from nature, self-assembly of molecular building blocks to form larger-scale functional elements is an attractive, "bottoms-up" approach for fabricating nanometer-size devices. DNA is a promising construction material for growing well-defined nanostructures. DNA oligonucleotid...
