We have made some
extremely interesting and intriguing nanostructures
and nanomaterials.
Stay tuned!!
Nucleic Acid Engineered Materials (NAEM) can be synthesized
in a precisely controlled fashion at the nanoscale.
Current projects include:
NAEM nanobarcodes
NAEM nanopatterning
NAEM nanoheaters
NAEM nanowires
NAEM nanomotors
NAEM hybrid materials
