7th iCeMS Café: Turning "DNA" into "Origami"

6th iCeMS Cafe

There are artists who paint on grains of rice.
We can do things that are far, far smaller.

Strands of DNA can be woven into miniscule pieces of "origami".

This "origami" is really quite incredible.

What is so incredible about it?
Has your curiosity been sparked?
If so, please join us at the next iCeMS Café!
