DNA origami enables fabricating superconducting nanowires: Fabricating nanoelectronic circuits of the future just got a lot more interesting, thanks to DNA origami

Researchers describe how to exploit DNA origami as a platform to build superconducting nanoarchitectures. The structures they built are addressable with nanometric precision that can be used as a template for 3D architectures that are not possible today via conventional fabrication techniques. Inspired by previous works using the DNA molecule as a template for superconducting nanowires, the group took advantage of a recent bioengineering advance known as DNA origami.
