Caralynn Nowinski Collens, Ramille Shah, and Adam Jakus spent years developing an innovative technology to regenerate injured bone. The results, they thought, were . . . okay. The company they founded ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a simple DNA "switch" that helps tropical butterflies adjust the size of their wing eyespots in response to seasonal ...

Slow but steady growth in the use of 3D-printed concrete in construction brings in new firms and users, as the nascent industry finds the right market niches for a continually evolving technology As ...

University of Queensland researchers have developed an affordable, open-source DNA measurement tool that can be built using a home 3D printer. The Do-It-Yourself Nucleic Acid Fluorometer—DIYNAFLUOR—is ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Daniel Urban shows ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander how to extract DNA from a strawberry In this video, we demonstrate how to extract DNA from a strawberry using simple materials you can find at home ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...

A new approach breaks down complicated designs into modular building blocks for easy assembly from the bottom up. (Nanowerk News) When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose ...
