Engineers Building Erasible Detectors, Nanobrushes and DNA Highrises

Duke University Public Release, 29 Mar 2006 A Duke University engineering group is doing pioneering work at very diminutive dimensions. Their basic studies could lead to genetically engineered proteins that can form erasable chemical detectors; self-grown forests of molecular "bottlebrushes" that keep themselves contamination-free; and auto-assembled DNA "towers" that could become anchors for the tiniest of devices.
