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

An international research team led by scientists from Skoltech has developed a method to position molecules on the surface of ...

A recent article in Small describes a modular platform for assembling protein-DNA composites using covalent, site-specific conjugation. This method enables the formation of stable structures with ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

Artificial DNA letters beyond A, T, G, C break a fundamental pairing rule to produce nanostructures with new shapes, far greater durability, and an unexpected ability to self-sort.

An international research team has placed quantum light emitters onto silicon chips with roughly 90% success by using tiny triangles made of folded DNA, a result that exceeds the efficiency ceiling ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without any template to guide them, a behavior the team calls “doodling.” Published ...
