varied interdisciplinary techniques for carefully designing and controlling these
self-assembly processes. Many of these self-assembly processes are computational-
based and programmable; it seems likely that interdisciplinary techniques will be
essential to other emerging subfields of nanoscience and biomolecular computa-
tion. We have also discussed a number of key challenges still confronting this
emerging field on DNA nanostructures, including the need for error correction and
the challenge and applications of constructing three-dimensional DNA lattices.
