Description
These are nanoscale DNA origami structures designed by NIST researchers to serve as templates for arranging quantum dots. The images show atomic force microscopy (AFM) scans of three different template designs: (a) dots in corners, (b) dots diagonally, and (c) dots in a line. The research explores how quantum dot proximity affects bonding and error rates.
