摘要

The proposed DNA origami-based device is a nanorobotic arm designed to store mechanical energy by winding up a DNA ‘spring’. This research contributes to the development of spring-loaded mechanical nanotechnology for energy storage. It uses a DNA arm and base to store mechanical energy and utilize it when needed. Given that it is a prototype concept, there are many allied challenges due to technological advancements. This includes manufacturing processes associated with the design of such mechanisms, potentially limited mechanical strength, and non-optimal storage efficiency. For now, this design is limited by the load capacity of its prototype. Furthermore, in this study, stability tests of the components are undertaken using Oxview, upon which a few bond separations within DNA are recorded.
