Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

Shape shifts happen all around you. Cells stretch, tissues curl, and living structures shift their form as naturally as breathing. Scientists have tried to copy those abilities for years, hoping to ...

Scientists created shapeshifting DNA robots that react to acidity, opening paths to smart drug delivery, pollution cleanup, and advanced data storage. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of ...

Researchers at the University of North Carolina have created microscopic soft robots shaped like flowers that can change shape and behavior in response to their surroundings, just like living ...

A 'biological camera' bypasses the constraints of current DNA storage methods, harnessing living cells and their inherent biological mechanisms to encode and store data. This represents a significant ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have used microscopic strands of DNA to guide the assembly of gel blocks that are visible to ...
