    报告摘要：The ability to design and program complex molecular interactions between synthetic biomolecules (especially DNA and proteins) has led to a revolution in artificial nanomaterials capable of self-assembly. For example, DNA-based nanotech entails the design of artificial nucleotide sequences capable of self-assembling into desired geometric shapes and patterns with nanometer-scale precision. These synthetic DNA nanostructures have been shown to be capable of organizing other materials including inorganic nanoparticles (metals and semiconductors), nucleic acid aptamers, and even carbon nanostructures. We are working with DNA self- and direct-assembly to develop a general purpose molecular assembly toolbox useful for a wide variety of applications, especially in nanoelectronics and medicine. One promising future direction is the bottom-up fabrication of electronics components and devices including molecular assembly of wires and metal nanoparticles toward the construction of single-electron transistors, multicomponent devices, and artificial neural networks.
