Tunable DNA hairpin springs stretch millions of protein copies under piconewton tension, enabling bulk biochemical discovery ...

DNA, long known as the molecule that carries genetic information, is taking on a new role in science. Researchers now see it ...

A team from several universities have created a new molecule inspired by our own DNA that can store sunlight for years and ...

An international research team has placed quantum light emitters onto silicon chips with roughly 90% success by using tiny ...

Scientists are exploring DNA-based robots, tiny molecular machines that could one day navigate the body, deliver targeted therapies, and even build nanoscale technologies.

On Monday, a paper announcing that all four DNA bases had been found on an asteroid sparked a lot of headlines. But many of ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily. So for ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

Studying endangered animal species without disturbing them and disrupting their natural habitat could be highly advantageous, ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...

Cancer’s strongest gene switches push DNA into damaging overdrive, creating repeated breaks and repairs that may fuel tumor ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
