New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Here’s the first 3D glimpse of how DNA is packaged up in a single cell The balled structure reveals organization, which is critical for gene activity.

New research from the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is tackling a complex packing problem. Thanks to the development of a powerful new computational tool introduced in a study published earlier ...

Artistic rendering of the assembly of designed 3D hierarchically ordered nanoparticle structures using DNA-programmable bonds (left). The desired structure and its design with optical reflection ...

In Science Magazine’s November 30 cover story, researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute reported that they had created 100 three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures using DNA building blocks that ...

A new technique to make highly complex 3D nanostructures by assembling together synthetic DNA “bricks” has been developed by researchers at Harvard University in the US. The bricks, which are like ...

Replicating like rabbits A 3D-printed polyester rabbit has been embedded with DNA that contains a blueprint for printing additional bunnies. Using the information, researchers have replicated the ...

Columbia Engineering researchers, working with Brookhaven National Laboratory, report today that they have built designed nanoparticle-based 3D materials that can withstand a vacuum, high ...

Using DNA as smart LEGO bricks, scientists are building the next generation of tiny tech that could change computing, medicine, and more.

Forget 3D printing—DNA and water now build tiny machines that assemble themselves A new approach breaks down complicated designs into modular building blocks for easy assembly from the bottom up.
