Assistant Professor Ariel Furst and her colleagues are looking to DNA to help guide the process.
Adding to nanotubes' abilities: superconductors and solar cells
If larger studies confirm the results of a Weizmann Institute innovation, diagnosing cancer may one day be as easy as taking blood
Desperate times call for desperate measures, says an ancient proverb, but whoever coined it surely could not have imagined that it would hold so true on such small scales.
Removing a newly discovered “lock” from DNA’s packaging can restore limitless abilities to early cells
A multidisciplinary team of Indiana University researchers have discovered that the motion of chromatin, the material that DNA is made of, can help facilitate effective repair of DNA damage in the human nucleus -- a finding that could lead to improved cancer diagnosis and treatment.
High levels of horizontal gene transfer could help researchers engineer useful microbiomes independent of unstable population dynamics
A fingertip-sized chip replaces bulky laboratory equipment. An infrared sensor has been developed at TU Wien (Vienna) that analyses the content of liquids within the fraction of a second.
Conventional dishwashers often do not kill all the harmful microorganisms left on plates, bowls, and cutlery.
A method to convert a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin used in 3D-printing could allow for making better use of plastic waste.
Metal oxides are compounds that play a crucial role in processes that reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
A team that includes Rutgers scientists has designed a synthetic protein that quickly detects molecules of a deadly nerve agent that has been classified by the United Nations as a weapon of mass destruction and could be used in a chemical warfare attack.
CO2 and methane can be turned into valuable products. But until now the catalysts required for such reactions quickly lose their effectiveness. TU Wien has now developed more stable alternatives.
Every day in the United States, 17 people die waiting for an organ transplant, and every nine minutes, another person is added to the transplant waiting list, according to the Health Resources and Services Administration.
UCSC scientists reported three crystal structures of periodic rippled beta sheets, a novel protein structure with potential applications in biomedicine and materials science
Rice study: Bottom-up construction with a 2D twist could yield novel materials
For the first time, researchers can get a high-resolution view of single blood stem cells thanks to a little help from microscopy and zebrafish.
Gene therapy has partly restored the function of the retina’s cone receptors in two children who were born completely colourblind, reports a new study led by UCL researchers.
Research from Washington University in St. Louis may soon lead to lighter, stronger carbon fiber materials and stronger plastics with a gentler environmental impact.
Process beheads PFAS, causing it to fall apart into benign end products
