Programming Matters across Domains and Scale
summary
Live simulations apply two local rules — permanent red‑green pairs and same‑color attraction — producing lamellar patterns that become micelles when red attraction is disabled, showing how microscopic rules change macroscale material properties. The field uses DNA origami and CADnano (Maya plugin) to build 90 nm structures and a DNA nanorobot kills leukemia cells in vitro by opening on cell markers and releasing antibody fragments. Researchers run competitions like iGEM/biomod and push toward 3D/4D bioprinting.
