Nanowires are vital components for future nanoelectronics, sensors, and nanomedicine. To achieve the required complexity, it is necessary to control the position and growth of the metal chains on an ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Gothelf lab at Aarhus University have developed a new method to manipulate the shape of DNA, opening up exciting new avenues for exploration in molecular biology, nanotechnology, ...

In the early 1990s, Jacqueline Barton, the John G. Kirkwood and Arthur A. Noyes Professor of Chemistry at Caltech, discovered an unexpected property of DNA--that it can act like an electrical wire to ...

Many people picture the classic double-stranded helix when picturing a molecule of DNA, but DNA is also capable of forming far more complex structures. Usually though, those structures are not ...

The world’s most famous molecule – the DNA double helix – sometimes doubles up again. Researchers have now found this quadruple-stranded form in healthy human cells for the first time. Four-stranded ...

The scientist who discovered hybridization and the "other" double helix describes what it meant to biology. By Alexander Rich Fifty-two years ago I was venturing to the basement of Cal Tech chemistry ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

(Nanowerk News) Nanowires are vital components for future nanoelectronics, sensors, and nanomedicine. To achieve the required complexity, it is necessary to control the position and growth of the ...
