DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

Scientists are finding ways to merge biology with electronics, unlocking new possibilities for data storage and computing.

DNA, long known as the molecule that carries genetic information, is taking on a new role in science. Researchers now see it as a powerful building material for machines so small they operate at the ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...

DNA robots are emerging as tiny programmable machines that could one day deliver drugs, hunt viruses, and build ...

Researchers have developed a method to program the spatial organization of double-stranded DNA by incorporating Hoogsteen interactions. Researchers at Aarhus University (Denmark) have developed a ...
