DESCRIPTION:The discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953 marked the begin
 ning of a new era in the biological sciences\, and less than 30 years late
 r Seeman proposed that DNA could be used to build synthetic nanostructures
 .  Since then\, the field of DNA Nanotechnology has flourished.  In this s
 eminar I will explain how DNA can be used to build complex structures and 
 devices from the bottom up\, and how DNA molecular machines can be used fo
 r computation.\n\nI will summarize my research on the principles underlyin
 g the self-assembly of a particular class of DNA nanostructure known as DN
 A origami\, and I will discuss some of my work on surface-immobilised DNA 
 molecular machines.  Our ultimate goal is to integrate these devices with 
 conventional solid-state electronics\, which would facilitate data readout
  and open the door to low-power massively parallel processing.\n
