AbstractThis project utilizes DNA, the fundamental genetic material of all living organisms, as a construction material for nano-scale structures. The potential impact of this research spans multiple fields, including healthcare, where it could lead to breakthroughs in disease detection and treatment, and nano-engineering, offering new methods for manufacturing at the nanoscale. Leveraging the inherent base-pairing properties of DNA, the project employs a novel strategy known as slat assembly, where DNA
