Researchers combined synthetic DNA with a semiconductor to create an ultra-low-power memory device capable of storing and ...
Scientists often describe life as a series of chemical reactions. Pallav Kosuri, PhD, describes life as movement. Chemical ...
Researchers have discovered that a gene linked to congenital heart disease acts like an architect for the heart cell’s DNA.
The skin is the body's largest organ. It is a protective shield that keeps harmful pathogens out and vital fluids inside. These very properties make it a tough engineering challenge to design wearable ...
Transporting molecules across biological membranes is essential for life. In nature, this can occur through passive transport, known as diffusion. "Biological systems often use mechanical motion to ...
Researchers used AI to design working bacteriophages for the first time, raising questions about antibiotic resistance and biosecurity.
Regular glass is brittle and fragile. But pure glass built into structures using DNA is a different beast entirely.
Mechanical flexibility improves nanocarrier movement through mucus when physical confinement dominates, while surface coatings must first prevent aggregation when adhesion controls transport.
