1/5🚀🔬 New paper alert!
We built a spring-loaded DNA origami nanorobot that can sense, compute, and act — basically, a molecular PC made of DNA 🧬💻

4/5 How? SEPP is a spring-loaded network of DNA “antijunctions” that flip between states, like tiny molecular switches. We can program them with DNA strands to make logic gates, timed actions, and even cargo release. Basically, tiny robots doing science at 1 billionth the size🤏

1/4 📢🥳now online: BROWNIAN DNA COMPUTING - Unlike fuel-driven molecular computing with high-energy barriers, it exploits thermal fluctuations.
Inputs rectify state access, enabling fast, low-energy computation. 📜More in our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

3/4 MPUs are fully modular🖥️. We built:
✔ All basic Boolean logic gates
✔ Multi-input compact gates
✔ A half adder
✔ Even non-Boolean logic

Excited to share it now in its final form in @NatureNano: our approach to decouple sensing from signal output to build modular and tunable DNA origami sensors with high FRET contrast: rdcu.be/dZqUd 💡🧬🔬

4/5 We also applied GETvNA to track the diffusion of AGT along DNA, being able to detect distinctive diffusional modes and preferential binding to A-tracts, while reaching single-base pair resolution.
