Final Report Summary - ORCA (Optical Responses Controlled by DNA Assembly)
Additional outcome of this project included the design and characterization of metamolecule-based sensors, which we used to, e.g. detect pathogenic RNA sequences in the picomolar-range, and the manufacturing of DNA origami-based 3D crystals that can host optical components and are resilient to drying and vacuum through a process of DNA nanostructure silicification.
