Highly stable DNA networks have been generated by employing a newly synthesized rigid adamantane motif that is branched with DNA. In their Full Paper on page 1450 ff., R. Pathak and A. Marx discuss how even very short branched sequences of only two nucleotides in length were able to form stable networks by self‐assembly. The moiety generated could serve as useful building block for DNA‐based nanoconstructions.
