Based on computer simulation, it is proposed that so-called RNA nanotubes, which are sequences of bonded RNA nanorings, be used for optical applications in manufacturing metamaterials. A recently developed model of coarse-grained RNA is used that allows the study of key properties of RNA nanotubes. The Langevin method is used to discover the basic thermodynamic and mechanical properties of nanotubes...
