Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...

Programmed self-assembly of strands of nucleic acid has proved highly effective for creating a wide range of structures with desired shapes. A particularly successful implementation is DNA origami, in ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- DNA is more than just a carrier for our genetic information; DNA is also an outstanding nanoscale building material, as researchers led by Ned Seeman discovered thirty years ago.

New results provide a platform for more efficient, selective, and sensitive DNA biosensors that can be used in detecting various pathogens and diseases. Electrochemical DNA biosensors hold significant ...

Single-stranded RNA origami tiles transcribed and folded inside giant liposomes generate micrometre-long filaments that deform the membrane, showcasing the potential of RNA nanotechnology in building ...

Molecular architects have developed a quartet of methods that could propel DNA nanotechnology into wider use. Together, the techniques offer a tool kit to mass-produce larger and more complex “DNA ...
