Space Crystals charges $150,000 to grow two crystals infused with a person's DNA in microgravity. One crystal is then returned to the customer and the other is sent to the moon in a Lunar Time Capsule ...

(Nanowerk News) The design of macroscopic material with desired chemical, physical, and mechanical properties from the molecular level up is an ongoing challenge for self-assembly and nanotechnology.

(Nanowerk News) Using x-ray crystallography, researchers studied 36 DNA-based molecular junctions and discovered factors that yield superior 3D self-assembled lattice structures (Nature Communications ...

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL–Imagine information stored on something only a hundredth the size of the next generation computer chip–and made from nature’s own storage molecule, DNA. A team led by Richard ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...

Researchers have achieved 32 different–shaped crystal structures using the DNA–brick self–assembly method.Credit: Harvard's Wyss Institute DNA has garnered attention for its potential as a ...

(A) A liquid-crystalline phase of purified DNA molecules that are observed by polarized-light microscopy. This ordered phase is spontaneously formed once the DNA concentration exceeds a threshold ...

Bioscientists have uncovered a tiny detail that could help us understand how DNA replicates with such astounding accuracy. When cells reproduce, the internal mechanisms that copy DNA get it right ...
