The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Arizona State University have designed a computer program that can print any free-form drawing as a 2D nanoscale structure made of DNA. At the ...

Researchers have designed a computer program that allows users to translate any free-form drawing into a two-dimensional, nanoscale structure made of DNA. Researchers at MIT and Arizona State ...

Why is DNA so important? Put simply, DNA contains the instructions necessary for life. The code within our DNA provides directions on how to make proteins that are vital for our growth, development, ...

a, A 2D DNA sheet structure formed by three anti-parallel ATTTATTT strands. The dotted lines between bases indicate hydrogen bonds. The open arrow in each strand denotes 5′ to 3′ direction. The dashed ...

Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like studying genetics should be relatively straightforward. In truth, these strands ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at New York University and the University of Melbourne have developed a method using DNA origami to turn one-dimensional nano materials into two dimensions. Their ...

DNA Moiré Superlattices are the focus of a study now published in Nature Nanotechnology. “Unlike conventional methods that rely on mechanical stacking and twisting of two-dimensional materials, our ...

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 ...

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 ...

James D Watson, the American biologist who co-discovered the structure of DNA and helped launch the modern age of genetics, has died at 97. His death was confirmed by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory ...
