TL;DR Summary

Researchers from universities in New York and Ningbo, China, have developed 3D DNA nanorobots that can self-replicate. These tiny robots, built from DNA, have the potential to perform tasks such as targeting and destroying cancer cells or collecting toxic waste in the ocean. The nanorobots are capable of precise folding and positioning of DNA strands, allowing for limitless self-replication. This breakthrough in DNA nanotechnology opens the door to more complex and useful nano- and microdevices, with applications in nanomedicine, diagnostics, and nanorobotics.
