Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

Scientists have built DNA-based nanocircuits that reset with heat, enabling reusable molecular systems for tasks like cargo sorting and pattern recognition. (Nanowerk News) Though it might seem like ...

Scientists study a molecular machine that moves jumping genes in DNA, paving the way for a new gene editing tool beyond CRISPR-Cas9. (Nanowerk News) More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a ...

Though it might seem like science fiction, scientists are working to build nanoscale molecular machines that can be designed for myriad applications, such as "smart" medicines and materials. But like ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Molecular machine learning (ML) underpins critical workflows in drug discovery, material science, and catalyst optimization by rapidly predicting molecular interactions and properties. For instance, ...

BEAVER, Pa. — Closing more cases faster is the goal of a new rapid DNA machine in Beaver County. “So we are swabbing the ridges for any rough spots of the gun where skin cells may collect,” a ...
