New results provide a platform for more efficient, selective, and sensitive DNA biosensors that can be used in detecting various pathogens and diseases. Electrochemical DNA biosensors hold significant ...

The shimmering of butterfly wings in bright colors does not emerge from pigments. Rather, photonic crystals are responsible for the play of colors. Their periodic nanostructure allows light at certain ...

Once used to fold DNA into nanoscale shapes, DNA origami is now emerging as a programmable platform for smarter diagnostics, targeted therapies, and next-generation nano-enabled devices From Blueprint ...

DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes and other molecules, computes everything from hair color to risk of developing diseases. Harnessing that prowess and immense storage ...

Scientists have created a working nanoscale electomotor. The science team designed a turbine engineered from DNA that is powered by hydrodynamic flow inside a nanopore, a nanometer-sized hole in a ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a joint research team led by Professor Do-Nyun Kim of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seoul National University and ...

DNA, the medium of life, is so deeply associated with the biochemical world that considering its nonbiological applications may seem far-fetched. However, for researchers in the 1980s and 1990s ...

Scientists often describe life as a series of chemical reactions. Pallav Kosuri, Ph.D., describes life as movement. Chemical ...
