Map of America Made from DNA

03/17/2006 2:54 PM

In a new "ain't it cool" moment in nanotech, scientists have now created a map of the Americas out of DNA. In a technique called 'DNA origami' they were able to have the DNA self-assembles into any 2-D shape. This is a quantum leap over their earlier "Smiley Face". Just to let you know the maps scale is 1:200,000,000,000,000.
