Molecular Machine Built From Synthetic DNA. A team of researchers led by award-winning New York University chemistry professor Nadrian C. Seeman have built a machine from DNA, the genetic material of all living organisms. Constructed from synthetic DNA molecules, the device has two rigid arms that can be rotated between fixed positions.
