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 are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

What if the smallest molecule of life became the ultimate medium for digital storage? Faced with the avalanche of data flooding the planet, researchers are exploring the physical structure of ...

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

DNA Moiré Superlattices are the focus of a study now published in Nature Nanotechnology. “Unlike conventional methods that rely on mechanical stacking and twisting of two-dimensional materials, our ...

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 ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...
