Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

Scientists used a new, universal method to create a variety of 3D metallic and semiconductor nanostructures, including this structure revealed by an electron microscope. The scale bar represents one ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Columbia University, and Stony Brook University have developed a universal method for producing a wide variety of designed metallic and ...

Although every cell in the body contains the same genetic sequence, only a subset of genes is expressed in each cell. This selective gene expression, which differentiates a brain cell from a skin cell ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual element combining to become, for 40 years, the world’s tallest building.

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated—able to read not only the ...

In the summer of 2024, researchers reported that they had sequenced genes from the 52,000-year-old DNA of a woolly mammoth. The ancient beast was unearthed in Siberia, where it had been preserved in ...
