'This book provides an authoritative introduction to the nascent field of structural DNA nanotechnology … The rapid recent advances in DNA nanotechnology, particularly in building functional 3D structures, devices, and systems with DNA nanotechnology, are a testament of the need for authoritative books like this one. This book features more than 200 full-color illustrations and hundreds of authoritative references, and can serve as a textbook for graduate students. It is well written and easy to follow. It is a must-have book for those who plan to work in the field of DNA nanotechnology. It is also a useful reference book for researchers and graduate students interested in nanoscience, nanotechnology, nanofabrication, nanomedicine, and related fields.' Qinghuang Lin, MRS Bulletin
