Tiny DNA Robots May Power Tomorrow's Assembly Lines
May 13, 2010
NEW YORK-Microscopic robots made from DNA molecules can walk, follow instructions and work together to assemble simple products on an atomic-scale assembly line. Researchers at Columbia University and New York University created the tiny robots, which are 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Using DNA components, the engineers have emulated a traditional assembly line.MORE
