Scientists have engineered a nanoscale switch using DNA "origami." Inspired by macroscale mechanical switches, the device achieves long-term functionality without the continuous forcing mechanism that ...
What if the mechanical properties of a cell could be programmed like the components of a machine? Researchers at the ...
This cell-like structure can grow, feed, divide and compete. Researchers ponder what it means for the future of synthetic ...
It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil ...
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have shown that a single injection of a small, circular piece of genetic instruction can ...
What do you call an organism with no evolutionary ancestors? SpudCell, apparently ...
