Encoded surfaces have a rich set of applications that range from anti-counterfeiting to sensing. A desirable characteristic is the synergetic combination of molecular specificity with macroscopic changes that can be detected with simple infrastructure. Wetting is a macroscopic property, with transitions identifiable even with the naked eye. As the genetic information carrier, DNA is perfectly suited for molecular encoding. A grand challenge is generating macroscopically visible changes in wetting properties with sequence-specific interactions between DNA oligonucleotides. WETDNA will address this rewarding challenge by linking DNA encoding with localized wetting properties. WETDNA requires…
