Neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic both the structure and function of the human brain. Caltech ...
Can a neural network be constructed entirely from DNA and yet learn in the same way as its silicon-based brethren? Recent ...
While scientists are amassing a fair amount of data regarding our gut microbiomes, the oral microbiome is a bit of a new ...
Using an atomic force microscope tip as a pen and different single-stranded DNA as inks, scientists at Northwestern University have demonstrated a technique that could lead to the ultimate ...
For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation is the first step in DNA replication. This breakthrough, published in Nature ...
Software lets researchers create tiny rounded objects out of DNA. Here’s why that’s cool. DURHAM, N.C. -- Marvel at the tiny nanoscale structures emerging from research labs at Duke University and ...
Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers are ...
AMES, Iowa – Scientists have been making nanoparticles out of DNA strands for two decades, manipulating the bonds that maintain DNA’s double-helical shape to sculpt self-assembling structures that ...
Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...
