	Richard Kiehl describes patterning a silicon substrate with DNA coded "tiles" that serve as breadboards for nanocomponents measuring in angstroms (10 angtroms = nanometer). The researchers have not built all the reading/writing circuitry needed to utilize nanoparticles as single-electron memories, but have made the first steps toward such devices by sucessfully demonstrating the "scaffold" interconnection method for test nanocomponents.
