Disclosed herein are high Tm RNA nanostructures that can be composed of one or more modules or motifs to build RNA nanostructures with or without layers. The RNA nanostructures can have a core domain and three or more double-stranded arms and formulations thereof to conjugate high copy numbers of therapeutics, pH responsive or enzyme cleavable drug cargo. Also described herein is a design strategy for generation of synthetic RNA oligonucleotides that can self assemble into highly thermostable RNA structures. Also described herein are uses of the RNA nanostructures described herein.
