In the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, researchers led […]
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem scientists and others have revealed for the first time the electronic structure of single DNA molecules. In their work, the researchers were able to decode the electronic structure of DNA and to understand how the electrons distribute into the various parts of the double helix, a result that has been […]
Sorry, almost forgot this week’s quote! I’m feeling so miserable from my cold that even this bit of fun got forgotten.
This week’s genetics quote is from Nanoporous Materials: Science and Engineering by GQ Lu, XS Zhao:
The most supervising result of the work is that the DNA molecules do not thread meekly through these nanopores […]
