DNA self-assembly: nanostructures and molecular machines — •Andrew Turberfield — University of Oxford, Department of Physics, Clarendon Laboratory, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PU, United Kingdom

DNA is a wonderful material for nanoscale construction. It is a structural material whose self-assembly can be programmed by making use of its information-carrying capability; its hybridization can also be used as an energy source for molecular devices. I shall describe our recent work on three-dimensional nanofabrication and molecular machinery, including progress towards the construction of a free-running synthetic molecular motor.
