DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

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

Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...

For decades, scientists believed that DNA strands under stress would form knots, tangling into chaotic shapes. But new research led by the University of Cambridge shows otherwise: when put under ...

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