These kind of images of the DNA helix are not things that you would see with the naked eye, or even under a microscope. They’re models. We know that DNA exists in this double helix because it ...

New research shows that DNA coils into crazy shapes. Here, images of tiny DNA looped into a figure-8, frozen and viewed with microscopy (yellow), with a computer simulation of its predicted shape ...

The remarkable image clearly shows the DNA double helix, as predicted by Watson and Crick nearly 60 years ago. With refinement, the Genoa team hope that their new technique will allow researchers ...

The final common mistake that mangles otherwise decent images of DNA is the number of base pairs per 360 degree rotation of the helix. There should be ten, but all too often the "rungs" of the DNA ...

It’s the most famous corkscrew in history. Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails.

This video shows techniques that scientists used to produce 3-D reconstructions of shape fluctuations in double-helix DNA segments attached to gold nanoparticles [Lei Zhang, Dongsheng Lei, Jessica ...

The first direct images of the DNA double helix have been taken using electron microscopy.. In a study published in the journal NanoLetters, Enzo di Fabrizio, head of the Nanostructures Department ...

Jul 03, 2012: First visualisation of the DNA double helix in water (Nanowerk News) When Watson and Crick discovered the DNA double helix nearly sixty years ago, they based their structure on an ...

From 1952, DNA was sequenced, modified and extensively studied, but no technique was able to produce clear direct images of DNA. Now, researchers have developed a new technique to produce a direct ...

It’s commonly believed that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double helix shape of DNA. But in fact, they based their work on one of their colleagues at King’s College in London ...
