Team makes Van Gogh painting from DNA origami
Caltech scientists have recreated Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night" using delicately-wrapped genetic strands in a process known as DNA origami. DNA origami, developed 10 years ago by another Caltech researcher, allows folding a DNA strand into any desired shape, which then acts as a scaffold where all kinds of nanometer-scale components can be attached.
