Answers: How do you build the world's smallest Nerf gun?
- Nerf gun scaling
- Compliant mechanisms
- DNA nanotechnology
- DNA origami
- Atomic force microscopy
What it concludes
- Compliant mechanisms offer advantages including fewer parts, lower cost, greater precision, lower weight, zero friction, and built-in springs.
- A 1000x smaller Nerf gun can be built out of DNA using DNA origami and self-assembly.
