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

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

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

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...
