Since the students chose the articles, some were veryfamiliar to me but some were quite unexpected. One of the moreinteresting topics that I learned about was making tectosquares thatare RNA sequences that self assemble into ladder-like nanostructures.In the paper listed below, they used nanogold particles to quantify thespacing. Very Elegant.
