DURHAM, N.C. -- Marvel at the tiny nanoscale structures emerging from research labs at Duke University and Arizona State University, and it’s easy to imagine you’re browsing a catalog of the world’s ...

University of Queensland researchers have developed an affordable, open-source DNA measurement tool that can be built using a home 3D printer. The Do-It-Yourself Nucleic Acid Fluorometer—DIYNAFLUOR—is ...

A research team has succeeded for the first time in producing a molecular electric motor using the DNA origami method. The tiny machine made of genetic material self-assembles and converts electrical ...

The production of short DNA and RNA sequences, called oligonucleotides, is today essential in connection with diagnostics (COVID-19 test), DNA sequencing, gene synthesis for synthetic biology and gene ...

Filling a test tube with molecules made from folded DNA can work as a simple computer. The approach has been used to split two numbers into prime factors. Conventional computers work by passing ...

A prehistoric creature has just provided a stunning breakthrough, as a new research paper reveals that scientists mapped the three-dimensional architecture of a woolly mammoth's genome using ...

ChatGPT and other “large language models” promise to make learning easier than ever. But new research suggests that lessons learned so easily are less likely to stick. LLMs are a form of generative ...

A type of DNA computer that shows results through the motion of tiny beads could massively increase the parallel processing power of such machines. DNA computers take up less space than silicon-based ...
