Researchers create self-assembling nanodevices that move and change shape on demand
a team at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has created nanodevices made of DNA that self-assemble and can be programmed to move and change shape on demand.
In contrast to existing nanotechnologies, these programmable nanodevices are highly suitable for medical applications because DNA is both biocompatible and biodegradable.

Further, nanoscopic tensegrity devices could one day reprogram human stem cells to regenerate injured organs.
It appears we’re on the path to androids.
