DNA tubes control their size
Being able to synthesize nanostructures with controlled size is an important goal in nanotechnology. Now, researchers in the US have succeeded in exploiting modular single-stranded DNA building blocks to create molecular tubes with predefined circumferences. Such tubes could eventually be used as templates to make nanowires with controlled electronic properties for future nanoelectronic devices.
