Fluorescence in Bio-inspired Nanotechnology: First as Probe, Then as Function

In his thesis Fluorescence in Bio-inspired Nanotechnology, Jonas Hannestad describes the evolving box of DNA nanotechnology in a lucid and simply available means. A principal topic within the thesis is how organic buildings and mechanisms represent a foundation for the layout of novel applied sciences. Hannestad discusses how self-assembled, nanometer-scale DNA constructs should be functionalized utilizing fluorescent labeling.
