IRA FLATOW: This is Science Friday. I’m Ira Flatow. Imagine walking into an art museum and seeing scientific data but not the usual graphs or the diagrams. Think instead in the form of animated ...
Scientists have used DNA's self-assembling properties to engineer intricate moiré superlattices at the nanometer ...
DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...
Now, scientists at the University of California, Riverside, may have found a way to halt the damage before it begins. The team has developed a chemical probe that targets damage in mitochondrial DNA ...
Graphene, a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms, is being touted as the material that could change how electronics are made. But it’s difficult to make graphene in forms needed for ...
It has been 20 years since scientists put together the first rough draft of the human genome, the three billion genetic letters of DNA tightly wound inside most of our cells. Today, scientists are ...
Aside from the actual formation of graphene on this scaffold, all the lab techniques used here are well worn; dipping platters and taming wild strands of DNA are old hat for many areas of science ...
