Excerpts: Researchers have recently begun to use DNA to assemble carbon
nanotubes into transistors, the building blocks of computer circuits. 

 Biological DNA molecules, made from long strings of four types of bases
attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone, hold instructions for making the
proteins that enable life's processes. Artificial DNA molecules can be caused to
self-assemble into various patterns, and can also be coaxed to attach to objects
like carbon nanotubes. Given the right design, DNA molecules can assemble
objects.
