🚀 Excited to share our latest work, now out in #NanoLetters!
We show how to encode up to 4 bits of information onto gliding #microtubules using patterned photobleaching as fluorescent barcodes. 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10....
🧠💡 Big thanks to the team!

Autonomous assembly and disassembly of gliding molecular robots regulated by a DNA-based molecular controller A DNA-based molecular controller regulates the autonomous association/dissociation of gliding microtubules propelled by kinesins.

🚀Scientists have designed a DNA-based controller that powers autonomous assembly and disassembly of microtubules propelled by kinesins—no external input needed! 🧬✨ This breakthrough is a leap toward molecular robots with dynamic, self-regulated behaviors. 🦾🔬 #Innovation #MolecularRobotics​ #swarm
