A research team is working on ways to produce 3D structures using DNA.

DNA is the foundation of life, as DNA molecules carry digital information that is used by cells to reproduce and develop all the functional biology required for life.

DNA can do this because it contains four molecules that can be easily bonded into complex structures. The molecules, adenine (A), cytosine ©, guanine (G), and thymine (T), can be arranged in “ladder” forms that are self-assembling.
