Engineers have found a new and unexpected use for the code of life—as a commonplace building material that can be used to fashion precise 3D structures, ranging from miniature smiley faces to cubes.

George Church, Robert Winthrop Professor of Genetics at HMS and founding core faculty member at the Wyss, is also quoted.
