He could mean the installation of microscopic wires using a chemical reaction, in that the biological framework consists of a molecule to which copper molecules would bind, that sort of thing.
It's self-assembly because all you have to do essentially is put the strands in a bottle with some salt water and shake it up, and they snap together in the desired configuration (more or less) like magnets. As opposed to mechanically positioning and nailing things together, or whatever other "manual assembly" way we usually build things.
You say in a way that nature never intended, but how do you know what nature intended. If nature intended for anything than we might as well assume it intended for us and anything we produce.
At ~15:35, Rothemund says that we will make new structures, "...using DNA in ways nature never intended." While generally impressed by his ideas, on this point I take issue. As far as I understand it, we can know of nothing outside of nature. We are part of nature, and any creation, any consequence resulting from our actions, is an expression of nature moving within us.

There is a sense in which he is right. The way a sperm and egg come together, the way their DNA's merge, the way the zygote cell multiplies, the way the identical stem cells differentiate and build various organs... It's all algorithmic, molecular cause-and-effect following steps just like a computer running a code. In a way, it IS a computer running a code, except the computer is built out of organic molecules instead of silicon wafers and the code is a sequence of nucleotides rather than binary digital instructions. If you don't see how strong the analogy is, that's okay. But the more you learn about molecule biology and software programming, the more you will see the connection.
nature builds on complexity, soon we'll require hind legs to support our brains and dreams will be cataloged, collided, and constructed into immersive technology environments screaming through galaxies and the like
is it just me or does everyone get wat his saying..?? i havent got much clue about wats going on with all his diagrams and stuff other than his using molecules to make things similar to how dna makes people..can someone quick sumarise please ^^
Ahhhhh... Molecular Programmers will be the Future in "The Future". I think synthetic cell biologists have it easier, and will get stuff done faster. But really, synthetic DNA programmers will be able to make much more efficient stuff... that is when they learn how to make them from DNA prints...
First I had interest in Physics but still thought there is wayyyyy too much to research in Biology...so I took biology for my career....lets see how i doo..lolz
Quote DNA is, more or less, changed by the decisions we make in life, not by a computer. Have to agree about that. Ever hear of Bruce Lipton Check him out.
Amazing to hear a description of DNA origami, straight from Dr. Rothemund himself !
Absolutely amazing!
0_0 wow. utter awesomeness.
This video should be used in schools to attract kids to science.
Diabolical science

Amazing DNA origima!! But it's still very hard for me to understand tile self-assembly ummmmm

That's a pretty subtle philosophical point. I'd sooner take issues with implying nature "intends" anything
Those smiley faces were creepy but amazeballs!!
The recognition of life, is the recognition of beauty. Because engineers find math beautiful, that is how they recognize life.
fantastic!

Very interesting.
Interesting number "10 trillion trillion" that's 10 followed by 24 zeros.
i love to write a bachelor thesis about something related to that
it's remarkable to me that nobody wants to answer the question;
AMAZING

Very cool.
everyone!! watch this in high quality.. HUGE DIFFERENCE!

at the end of the url and itll go to HQ!~
Hi dad
hi
AWSOME!!!
The speaker said "...attach wires to this framework...".
Million Thanks for the vid
Amen.
If we are a product of nature then anything we do is what it intended.
It even has Taiwan on the worlds shortest leash.
Humans are not "computer" fabricated. The man has great ideas, but in his enthusiasm, there are many unanswered questions and HUGE assumptions.

and a fourth Dna NanoManufacturing breakthrough in a week! scienmag.com/single-stranded-dna-and-rna-origami-go-live/
Yea I would since it was created by a product of mother nature.
Teh singularity is near.
nature builds on complexity, soon we'll require hind legs to support our brains
and dreams will be cataloged, collided, and constructed into immersive technology environments
screaming through galaxies and the like
@greycloud24 Thats being naive :).
soda man drink it
very promising work

So we are just data and data can be manipulated.
Sounds correct to me.
1's and 0's the way we make money.
Its all making sence now.
is it just me or does everyone get wat his saying..?? i havent got much clue about wats going on with all his diagrams and stuff
other than his using molecules to make things
similar to how dna makes people..can someone quick sumarise please ^^
nono i was describing the ideology, not you personally.
Nano mechineries

Imagine nanobots that went and killed everyone.
What an original thought
First I had interest in Physics but still thought there is wayyyyy too much to research in Biology...so I took biology for my career....lets see how i doo..lolz
the question is do irrationalists use nanomanufacturing, or do rational people do; and what is the irrational/rational?
This is soooooooo weird

Hoy ginhawa pud HAHHAHAHAHAHA
CALM DOWN! take a breath and stop breathing in the mic!! jesus thats disgusting!
Amazing!
brilliant!
