Folding DNA into Twisted and Curved Nanoscale Shapes (2009, background): “Programmable self-assembly based on DNA directed to branch in this way offers an attractive route to creating particular shapes on the 1 to 100 nm scale [1–4], as evidenced by its use in constructing two-dimensional (2D) crystals [5], nanotubes [6–11], and three-dimensional (3D) wireframe polyhedra ”
Nanomaterials Based on DNA (2010, background): “One of the issues with these structures is that they were not deltahedrons (polyhedrons whose faces are all triangles); deltahedrons, such as tetrahedrons (29), octahedrons (30), and icosahedrons (22), have all been produced during the current decade (22, 31).”
