The new meta-DNA self-assembly concept may totally transform the microscopic world of structural DNA nanotechnology. Decades ago a huge milestone in DNA technology was the invention of DNA origami, where a long single-stranded DNA is folded into designated shapes with the help of hundreds of short DNA staple strands. DNA nanotechnology had challenges assembling larger (micron to millimeter) sized DNA architectures. The new micron-size structures are on the order of the width of a human hair, which is 1,000 times larger than the original DNA nanostructures. In the future, more complicated circuits, molecular motors and nanodevices could be rationally designed
