A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA ...

LifeTracer is not a universal life detector. Rather, it provides a foundation for interpreting complex organic mixtures. The Bennu findings remind us that life-friendly chemistry may be widespread ...

DNA is known to keep its form for centuries, and the researchers found that their tape could store data for more than 345 years at room temperature, or about 20,000 years at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 ...

Scientists found that nanopores’ electrical charges control how ions flow and when pores temporarily shut down. The discovery ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

Woohoo's chef Aiman is trained on thousands of recipes and decades of culinary research and molecular gastronomy, but one Michelin-starred chef says the food has no soul ...

This radical new method could preserve our entire knowledge base for thousands of years, in a storage medium the size of a coffee cup.

Often celebrated as a pioneer of genetics alongside Francis Crick, racist and sexist remarks tarnished his reputation in later years. James Watson was credited as the co-discoverer of the structure of ...

James D. Watson, whose role as co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 made him one of the key figures in the rise of molecular biology as well as the obvious choice to be first ...

His decoding of the blueprint for life with Francis H.C. Crick made him one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. He wrote a celebrated memoir and later ignited an uproar with racist ...

Drawing inspiration from natural cell signaling cascades, chemists at Université de Montréal (UdeM) have developed a DNA-based signaling cascade that allows them to quantify and report via an easily ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
