No "sticky ends"? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature ...
An MIT-led origami construction method connects folded metal modules into curved shells. Prototypes and a library sculpture ...
Repetition doesn’t always have to be humdrum. In mathematics, it is a powerful force, capable of generating bewildering complexity. Even after decades of study, mathematicians find themselves unable ...
Ph.D. candidate Petr Steindl creates complex structures of light using single photons. As a teenager, he wanted to study Czech poetry but decided on quantum physics. "Looking back, I am glad I ...
Newswise — (MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 14, 2025) The first full-length structures of two heat shock chaperone proteins in a complex reveal the key structural region regulating their function, according ...
Physicists show that the shape of components is a major determinant of how quickly and efficiently complex structures self-assemble. Physicists at LMU Munich show that the shape of components is a ...
More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the origin of life itself—this merger radically changed the ...
A Florida State University chemist has developed a method to rapidly assemble significantly complex natural molecules with potential in biomedical applications, opening the door for novel drug ...
