Non‐canonical interactions in DNA remain under‐explored in DNA nanotechnology. Recently, many structures with non‐canonical motifs have been discovered, notably a hexagonal arrangement of typically rhombohedral DNA tensegrity triangles that forms through non‐canonical sticky end interactions. Here,...
