QuBIC: Application of Engineered DNA Nanostructures in Nanofabrication

工程DNA纳米结构在纳米制造中的应用该项目的长期目标是通过使用工程DNA纳米结构作为模板，开发计算感兴趣的材料纳米制造的新方法，并弥合纳米制造中光刻（自上而下的方法）和自组装（自下而上的方法）之间的尺寸差距。本研究的具体目标有三个：(1)构建尺寸在5-30 nm的等边DNA三角形，(2)在微结构底物上可控地沉积DNA纳米结构，(3)进行DNA模板纳米制造。这项研究的更广泛的影响是，这是一个高度跨学科的研究，并为参与的学生提供了良好的学习机会。目前正在作出特别努力，招收妇女和少数民族学生参加这个项目。

The specific objectives of this proposal are threefold: (1) constructing of equilateral DNA triangles in the size range of 5-30 nm, (2) depositing DNA nanostructures controllably on microstructured substrates, and (3) performing DNA templated nanofabrication. The broader impact of this research is that this is highly interdisciplinary research, and provides participating students excellent learning opportunities. Special efforts are also being made to recruit women and minority students into this project.
