Nanotechnology aims to organize matter with the highest possible accuracy and control. Such control will lead to nanoelectronics, nanorobotics, programmable chemical synthesis, scaffolded crystals, and nanoscale systems responsive to their environments. Structural DNA nanotechnology1 is one of the most powerful routes to this goal. It combines robust branched DNA species with the control of affinity and structure2 inherent in the programmability of sticky ends. The successes of structural DNA nanotechnology include the formation of objects, 3 2D crystals, 4 3D crystals, 5 nanomechanical devices, 6 and various combinations of these species (eg, ref. 7). DNA origami8 is arguably the most effective way of producing a large addressable area on a 2D DNA surface. This method entails the combination of a long single strand (typically M13 single-stranded form, 7249 nucleotides) with about~ 250 staple strands to define its shape and patterning. With a pixilation estimated at about 6 nm, 8 it is possible to build patterns with about 100 addressable points within a definable shape in an area of about 10,000 nm2. Many investigators have sought unsuccessfully to increase the useful size of 2D origami units by forming crystals of individual origami tiles. 0 Here, we report the 2D crystallization of origami tiles to yield a 2D array with dimensions 2–3 microns on an edge. This size is likely to be large enough to connect bottom-up methods of patterning with top-down approaches.Crystalline arrays are a convenient way to propagate patterns and other distributions of matter, so that multiple copies can self-organize into large periodic or aperiodic systems. DNA is a particularly powerful system for this type of organization, because it is possible to flank structural motifs with sticky ends, so that Watson-Crick complementary interactions can be programmed to establish the intermolecular contacts. 1 DNA double crossover (DX) motifs are examples of small tiles (~ 4 nm×~ 16 nm) that have been programmed to produce 2D crystals; 4 often these tiles contain pattern-forming features when more than a single tile constitutes the crystallographic repeat. These motifs contain two parallel double helices, held together by crossovers; the second dimension derives from connecting one helix of a given tile to the other helix of an adjacent tile, as shown in Figure 1a. In addition to the periodic pattern shown there, this form of intermolecular organization has been used to
