To realize the full potential of DNA nanotechnology in nanoelectronics applications requires addressing a number of scientific and engineering challenges: how to create and manipulate DNA ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

New 'cassette tape' made of DNA has the capacity to store 36 petabytes of data, which could change the future of digital ...

Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player. Lore has it that the ...

Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have observed the birth of a protein made by a single DNA molecule, an event never previously seen outside a cell. The insights from the observation enabled ...

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 new proof-of-concept DNA-infused computer chip could be the AI breakthrough that we've been waiting for. The chip was made using a DNA substrate that can perform calculations and manage big data ...

(Inside Science) — An enzyme in the bacterium E. coli made more errors copying synthetic DNA when exposed to zero gravity than the same enzyme did in normal gravity, a recent study finds. The paper ...

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 ...
