Paul Rothemund beskriver DNA origami

Life’s complexity comes from computation at the molecular scale, where DNA functions like a biological programming language. By folding DNA into custom shapes, researchers have created billions of nanoscale smiley faces, each just one-thousandth the width of a human hair. These techniques point to a future where molecular programs assemble machines and circuits from the bottom up. The same principles that let a tiny change in DNA create a six-fingered hand could one day build entire computers from molecules.
