"There is plenty of room at the bottom" - Richard Feynmam. I made a project about an emerging field that focuses on modifying extremely small, usually not visible with naked eye, materials and creating new things with desired properties. The aim of my project is to foster people understanding about the subject that is believed to have a huge influence on us in a future. In my presentation I will discuss the main concepts of the discipline, where it can be applied and give some examples of new innovations. #Scichallenge2017
When they practice DNA origami, scientists leverage this natural base-pairing process by mixing multiple short strands of synthetic DNA, called “staples,” with a single long strand of viral DNA, the “scaffold.” These DNA strands are combined in solution inside a test tube, then heated up and cooled back down to initiate the base-pairing process, which causes them to assemble in double helices
"Algae produce triglycerides, which consist of fatty acids and glycerin. The fatty acids can be turned into biodiesel while the glycerin is a valuable byproduct
