The origin of structural DNA nanotechnology -- The design of DNA sequences for branched systems -- Motif design based on reciprocal exchange -- Single-stranded DNA topology and motif design -- Experimental technqiues -- A short historical interlude : the search for robust DNA motifs -- Combining DNA motifs into larger multi-component constructs -- DNA nanomechanics devices -- DNA origami and DNA bricks -- Combining structure and motion -- Self-replicating systems -- Computing with DNA -- Not just plain vanilla DNA nanotechnology : other pairings, other backbones -- DNA nanotechnology organizing other materials.

Written by the founder of the field, this is the first text of its kind, providing a definitive introduction to structural DNA nanotechnology. Readers will learn everything there is to know about the subject from the unique perspective of the leading expert in the field. Topics covered range from origins and history, to design, experimental techniques, DNA nanomechanics devices, computing, and the uses of DNA nanotechnology in organising other materials. Clearly written, and benefiting from over 200 full colour illustrations, readers will find this an accessible and easy to follow text that is essential reading for anyone who wants to enter this rapidly growing field. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in a range of disciplines including nanotechnology, materials science, physics, biology, chemistry, computational science and engineering.
