NIST researchers have explored the potential of DNA origami for nanomanufacturing, creating three different DNA origami templates to study how quantum dots arrange themselves. They found that placing dots closer together caused interference, leading to higher error rates and lower bonding strength. The study aimed to determine the practicality of DNA origami for assembling nanostructures, with results suggesting it may be more suitable for biological applications like sensors and drug delivery rather than semiconductor manufacturing due to limitations in precision and error rates.
