A Princeton team uncovered a surprising chiral quantum state in a supposedly non-chiral material, shedding light on elusive ...

Researchers utilized recently published telomere-to-telomere genomes of humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and two orangutans to predict where DNA sequences might form alternative structures ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

By contrast, in a living cell DNA lives in a very crowded environment, and special proteins attach to DNA to mechanically unwind the double helix and ... then conduct high-tech imaging.

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation - the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred to as non-B DNA—have been implicated as regulators of cellular ...

that the DNA molecule exists in the form of a three-dimensional double helix. More than 50 years passed before the significance of Miescher's discovery of nucleic acids was widely appreciated by ...

together with high-resolution atomic force microscopy, is described. In this review, the recent progress in the synthesis of helical polymers and their structural determination by means of CD and ...

The Solar Orbiter has spent five years circling our closest star. On 9 March 2025, it captured its most detailed image so far. The spacecraft used its Extreme Ultraviolet Imager to photograph the ...
