Reversible Self-Assembly of Macroscopic “Polymers”

Programming materials to reconfigure themselves into new structures might sound like science fiction, but researchers are working on exactly that goal. Now a team led by Jasna Brujic from New York University has taken a step toward realizing such material from micrometer-sized drops linked together with DNA. They demonstrate large-scale self-assembly of the drops into … Continue reading Reversible Self-Assembly of Macroscopic “Polymers”
