Ep 24 - DNA/RNA as bioreceptors for sensors

DNA and RNA are more than just the genetic materials that shape every living being. They are building blocks that can be used for many purposes, including as scaffolds for making shapes out of nanoparticles! Learn how scientists use them for sensing purposes! Reference: 1.
