纳米技术学家们能够将DNA“砖块”连成一大片,或者将一条长链的DNA反复折叠以形成一个平整的表面。
Nanotechnologists could link DNA “tiles” into a sheet, or fold a long strand of DNA back on itself again and again until it formed a flat surface.
“你也可以在塑料板的任一表面画出线条,”迪克说,“那样折痕沿着不同方向进行折叠,你就能创造出更多复杂的结构。” 研究员推出一种电脑数据模型来解释整个工作过程。
"You can also pattern the lines on either side of the material," Dickey says, "which causes the hinges to fold in different directions.
折痕角度越大,吸热表面积越大,也可以折叠的更快。
Wider hinges also fold faster, because there is more surface area to absorb energy.
