OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Molecular Structures and Machinery from DNA
By exploiting programmable, sequence-dependent base-pairing interactions it is possible to design and build three-dimensional DNA scaffolds, to attach molecular components to them with sub-nanometre precision – and then to make them move. I shall describe our work on autonomous, biomimetic molecular motors powered by chemical fuels, hybrid DNA-kinesin devices, motors that compute, nanostructure assembly, and the use of synthetic molecular machinery to control covalent chemical synthesis.
