Scientists have created a walking robot out of DNA--a first step toward DNA-based devices that could shuttle molecular cargo around as if on a conveyor belt or assemble other nanoseale machines. At the moment, it's not that you couldn't buy a walking robot if you wanted to; it's just that there is little to choose from between simple children's toys and budget-busting research robots.
