SYDN: Symposium Physics of Self-Organization in DNA Nanostructures

SYDN 1: Physics of Self-Organization in DNA Nanostructures

Thursday, April 4, 2019, 09:30–12:15, H1

DNA nanotechnology provides a wide range of tools for the fabrication of nanostructures by self-assembly, thus bridging the gap between fabrication strategies, which rely on top-down miniaturization of materials, and those, which create materials from the smallest entities by more traditional synthetic strategies. In addition, the ability of DNA nanostructures to reconfigure in response to external triggers makes these systems ideal candidates for studies of self-organization at the nanoscale. The field has witnessed tremendous progress during the past years, especially due to the development of the DNA origami technique and other synthetic techniques leading to well-ordered structures with dimensions up to several hundred nanometers. This symposium will give an overview of the methods for building nanostructures by self-assembly and of the principles of their interaction with the environment. It will thus provide insight in the possibilities for the construction of controlled nanosystems which new developments in DNA nanotechnology offer.
