"DNA origami" for placing molecules on semiconductor chip not only by location but also in a specific orientation. "As a proof-of-concept, engineers arranged more than 3,000 glowing moon-shaped nanoscale molecular devices into a flower-shaped instrument for indicating the polarization of light. Each of 12 petals pointed in a different direction around the center of the flower, and within in each petal about 250 moons were aligned to the direction of the petal." caltech.edu/about/news/enginee
