PERDIX is a new, open-source tool for converting free-from drawings into 2D DNA structures. It takes a CAD file as input and transforms it into DNA structure, ranging from 10 to 100 nm in size. These synthetic DNA structures can have several...
Researchers develop an evolutionary algorithm to analyze different nanoparticle compositions. Some stable nanoparticles exhibit strange chemical compositions in normal conditions, whereas for macro objects, this usually happens in extreme...
Neuroscientists develop a new method, called SHIELD, to visualize DNA, proteins and other molecules. It can trace connections between neurons in the brain at single-cell resolution without damaging tissue. Detailed understanding of biological...
Researchers create world’s smallest tic-tac-toe board game using dynamic DNA origami technology. The technology could make it possible to modify and repair various parts of nanoscale machines. In biological systems, the dynamic interactions...
A new study confirms the presence of two different types of responses to injury: withdrawal reflex and pain-coping response. Each response is controlled by separate nerve-signaling pathways. Animals exhibit two types of response to painful stimuli...
For years, many influential personalities such as Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg have advised their followers and audiences to read books and read books. For them, books don’t just help people become successful in life, but it also...
Researchers develop a cutting-edge way to create arrays of nanofibers. These nanoscale fibers could make new materials with incredible capabilities. The new method was inspired by water-repelling lotus leaves and gravity-defying gecko feet. ...
A new study shows that organically farmed food is much worse for the environment than non-organic food. Since organic farming requires more land to produce food, it indirectly contributes to greater deforestation, and thus carbon dioxide emission. ...
Researchers achieve detailed high-speed imaging of the microparticle impact process. The study revealed that both the surface and the particle melt to some extent at high impact velocities. The combination of high temperatures, pressures, and...
Researchers use liquid crystal elastomers to deform structures in three dimensions. It could lead to the development of solar panels that follow sunlight (like sunflower) for improved energy capture. A variety of reconfigurable microstructures on...
A new technique unlocks more information from sonar signals than ever before. The additional data could enhance the performance of passive sonar systems, seismic surveying systems, and medical imaging equipment. The field of acoustics involves all...
Researchers invent a new method to reduce the volume of objects of any shape and structure. It works for a wide range of materials, including metals, quantum dots, and DNA. The technique can be used in the field of robotics, medicine, and optics...
