DNA-assembled nanoarchitectures with multiple components in regulated and coordinated motion
Pengfei Zhan, Maximilian J. Urban, Steffen Both +4
Coordinating functional parts to operate in concert is essential for machinery. In gear trains, meshed gears are compactly interlocked, working together to impose rotation or trans…

Gold nanocrystal-mediated sliding of doublet DNA origami filaments
Maximilian J. Urban, Steffen Both, Chao Zhou +4
Sliding is one of the fundamental mechanical movements in machinery. In macroscopic systems, double-rack pinion machines employ gears to slide two linear tracks along opposite dire…
