From the article

"They built a nanoscopic landscape of extremely water-repellant silicon pillars. When they added a solution that contained strands of DNA into this scene, the water quickly evaporated and left behind cords of bare DNA that stretched like tightropes between the tiny mesas."

guess they made an "silicon landscape" that could repel water really good, which left the DNA (which was in the water) stretching like a bridge across the towers/pillars.


thats pretty far out there in my book, guess thats why i am not a scientist lol
