Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have developed a simple process for mass producing molecular tubes of identical and precisely programmable circumferences. The technological feat may allow the use of the molecular tubes in a number of nanotechnology applications. The molecular tubes are composed of wound-up strands of DNA. DNA has been considered an ideal construction material for self-assembling molecular structures and devices because two complementary DNA strands. (source: mr.caltech.edu)
