Tying the knot: New DNA nanostructures

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Knots are indispensable tools for such human activities as sailing, fishing and rock climbing, (not to mention, tying shoes). But tying a knot in a lacelike strand of DNA, measuring just billionths of a meter in length, requires patience and highl...
