and each one needs to be read individually hundreds of times to capture the entire DNA sequence. Enlisting the help of some friends who had experience reverse engineering silicon, and armed with ...

Harnessing that prowess and immense storage capacity could lead to DNA-based computers that are faster and smaller than today's silicon-based versions. As a step toward that goal, researchers ...

Silanols are often overlooked but essential chemical compounds made from silicon atoms, and once synthesized, they help retain moisture and keep the skin’s natural barrier hydrated by forming ...

The tiny cantilevers are made of silicon and easily reproducible. When they are coated with specially designed DNA molecules, biosensing molecules called transcription factors bind to the DNA ...
