'Genetic code' guides nanoparticle growth Researchers in the US and China have demonstrated that DNA can also be used as a blueprint for the creation of non-biological structures. Their 'genetic code' could pave the way for tailored nanoparticles -- fit for use as catalysts, or in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. |
