Summary:
- Researchers at Princeton University have developed a new technique that uses light to bend DNA strands, allowing them to study the genome in unprecedented detail.
- This method, called "DNA origami," involves using DNA strands as building blocks to create complex, three-dimensional structures that can be manipulated with light.
- The ability to precisely control and observe the behavior of DNA strands could lead to advancements in areas such as genetic engineering, drug delivery, and the development of new materials.
