  • DNA structured linear actuator
    Patent number: 10630208
    Abstract: A DNA-structured linear actuator comprised of a ladder-like structure that twists to generate linear motion. In its base state, the DNA structured linear actuator best resembles a rope ladder. When this ladder is twisted, it takes on the appearance of a DNA double-helix structure. By application of a torsional force on one end, the ladder-like structure extends or contracts to allow linear translation of one end of the structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2020
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    Inventors: Alice Agogino, Kyle Zampaglione, Lee-Huang Chen, Andrew P. Sabelhaus
