Shaped like dogs, stars, and the Mona Lisa, you could mistake these DNA structures for fun-shaped macaroni if they weren't only nanometers wide. South Korean scientists made the constructions using a technique called DNA origami that can bend genetic material into any form.

The AI model, called...
