Most microscopes can only illuminate objects down to a certain size before tiny features blur together. This blurring is ...

A recent study by researchers from Peking University demonstrates the potential of nuclear electric resonance to control the nuclear spins of nitrogen atoms in DNA using electric field gradients, ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides ...

A global team has made a significant advance in understanding how bacterial plasmids contribute to antibiotic resistance.

In DNA, 2-deoxy-D-ribose molecules link together through phosphate groups to form a sugar-phosphate backbone. This backbone ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

The research also brings scientists closer to achieving single molecule protein sequencing, a long-sought goal in biology. While DNA sequencing reveals genetic instructions, protein sequencing ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.

The research also brings scientists closer to achieving single-molecule protein sequencing, a long-sought goal in biology. While DNA sequencing reveals genetic instructions, protein sequencing ...
