This study develops design strategies for 3D auxetic metastructures made from DNA origami, showing how DNA bundle rigidity and joint mechanics influence auxetic behavior and deformation energetics.

This paper designs a DNA-based nanoscale Jitterbug transformer that reconfigures its structure in response to chemical and optical signals, maintaining a Poissons ratio of -1.

This paper uses DNA origami to create a nanoscale metastructure that can switch between frustrated and non-frustrated mechanical states, with distinct free energy profiles.

The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to study how ligation patterns affect the mechanical properties of DNA crystals.
