DNA Nanotechnology: A Foundation for Programmable Nanoscale Materials

  • DNA nanotechnology has developed into a state where the design and assembly of complex nanoscale structures is fast, reliable, cost effective, and accessible to nonexperts. Nanometer-precise positioning of organic (e.g., dyes and biomolecules) and inorganic (e.g., metal nanoparticles and colloidal quantum dots) components on DNA nanostructures is straightforward and modular. In this article, we identify the opportunities and challenges that DNA-assembled devices and materials face for optical antennas, metamaterials, and sensing applications. With the ability to arrange hybrid components in defined geometries, plasmonic effects will, for example, amplify molecular recognition transduction such that single-molecule events will be measureable with simple devices. On a larger scale, DNA nanotechnology has the potential to break the symmetry of common self-assembled functional materials, creating predefined optical properties such as refractive-index tuning and topological insulation.

DNA Nanotechnology: A Foundation for Programmable Nanoscale Materials

Research Article

  • DNA origami: The bridge from bottom to top

  • Over the last decade, DNA origami has matured into one of the most powerful bottom-up nanofabrication techniques. It enables both the fabrication of nanoparticles of arbitrary two-dimensional or three-dimensional shapes, and the spatial organization of any DNA-linked nanomaterial, such as carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, or proteins at ∼5-nm resolution. While widely used within the DNA nanotechnology community, DNA origami has yet to be broadly applied in materials science and device physics, which now rely primarily on top-down nanofabrication. In this article, we first introduce DNA origami as a modular breadboard for nanomaterials and then present a brief survey of recent results demonstrating the unique capabilities created by the combination of DNA origami with existing top-down techniques. Emphasis is given to the open challenges associated with each method, and we suggest potential next steps drawing inspiration from recent work in materials science and device physics. Finally, we discuss some near-term applications made possible by the marriage of DNA origami and top-down nanofabrication.
