  2. DNA nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_nanotechnology

    DNA nanotechnology is the design and manufacture of artificial nucleic acid structures for technological uses. In this field, nucleic acids are used as non-biological engineering materials for nanotechnology rather than as the carriers of genetic information in living cells.

  3. Nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology

    Nanotechnology is the science and engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. In its original sense, nanotechnology refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up making complete, high-performance products. One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10 −9, of a meter.

  4. Nanobiotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanobiotechnology

    For example, DNA nanotechnology or cellular engineering would be classified as bionanotechnology because they involve working with biomolecules on the nanoscale. Conversely, many new medical technologies involving nanoparticles as delivery systems or as sensors would be examples of nanobiotechnology since they involve using nanotechnology to ...

  5. DNA computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_computing

    DNA nanotechnology has been applied to the related field of DNA computing. DNA tiles can be designed to contain multiple sticky ends with sequences chosen so that they act as Wang tiles . A DX array has been demonstrated whose assembly encodes an XOR operation; this allows the DNA array to implement a cellular automaton which generates a ...

  6. DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA

    DNA nanotechnology is the field that seeks to design nanoscale structures using the molecular recognition properties of DNA molecules. [178] DNA nanotechnology uses the unique molecular recognition properties of DNA and other nucleic acids to create self-assembling branched DNA complexes with useful properties. [179] DNA is thus used as a ...

  7. Outline of nanotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_nanotechnology

    Nanobiotechnology – intersection of nanotechnology and biology. [1] Ceramic engineering – science and technology of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials. Materials science – interdisciplinary field applying the properties of matter to various areas of science and engineering. It investigates the relationship between the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Society_for...

    The International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation, and Engineering (ISNSCE, pronounced like "essence" [1]) is a scientific society specializing in nanotechnology and DNA computing. It was started in 2004 by Nadrian Seeman, founder of the field of DNA nanotechnology. According to the society, its purpose is "to promote the study of ...

  9. Nanostructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanostructure

    A nanostructure is a structure of intermediate size between microscopic and molecular structures.Nanostructural detail is microstructure at nanoscale.. In describing nanostructures, it is necessary to differentiate between the number of dimensions in the volume of an object which are on the nanoscale.
