Our award-winning team of interdisciplinary students wants to grow 3D DNA Origami crystals. Why do we need to go into space for this? So far it has not been possible to produce uniform crystals from the new and innovative nanomaterial DNA Origami on Earth. One possible reason could be earth gravity. It is known, however, that microgravity has a positive effect on crystal growth. The International Space Station (ISS) would offer us the unique opportunity to study the behaviour of the material in microgravity and to exploit its positive effects on growing a 3D DNA Origami crystal.
In a Germany-wide competition prompted by AIRBUS Defence & Space, the most exciting and innovative scientific experiments were sought in order to bring them to the research facility “Space TangoLab” on board the ISS. Our international team of graduated students of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), united by the fascination of space travel, was able to convince a demanding jury of experts and thus win start-up funding for a successful crowdfunding campaign.
In 2019, we want to conduct a fully automated experiment on the crystallization of DNA origami nanostructures onboard the ISS.
These crystals will make it possible to break new ground in robotics, computer science, materials science, medicine and drug development.
With your help we want to tap the enormous potential of DNA Origami crystals for robotics, nano-computer technology, materials science, medicine and smart drug development.
