In honor of Vincent VanGogh’s birthday, learn how scientists recreated his famous Starry Night using folded DNA. ⬇️
, according to Gizmodo. Researchers realized they could make a tiny peg board of genetic material that they could then stick other molecules to when working with IBM in 2009—thus, the Van Gogh art-science fusion was born. The art is the same size as the width of a dime and is
composed of 65,536 photonic crystal"lamps" filled with fluorescent molecule"lightbulbs," all carefully stuck to the origami DNA scaffold . The crystals emit light at the wavelength they're tuned to, allowing scientists to choose the color they glow—here, a deep red. Some glow brighter or dimmer than others; these"hot" and"cold" spots are manipulated to create a pattern, logo, or even a famous painting. Researchers want to use this technology to study nanoscale quantum computing, embed DNA on computer chips, and improve drug delivery.
