DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

Scientists have used DNA's self-assembling properties to engineer intricate moiré superlattices at the nanometer scale—structures that twist and layer like never before. With clever molecular ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to the forefront of global health care. After their clinical ...

Researchers combine photonics and nanotechnology to identify molecular cancer signals five to eight years earlier than traditional diagnostic tools.

DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow cytometry.

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics at Brandeis University has long held an international reputation for excellence in research, offering its graduate students opportunities to work with top ...

No "sticky ends"? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Scientists developed "nano-origami" using DNA, gold nanoparticles to reshape droplets into six-pointed stars, enabling ...
