(Nanowerk News) The DNA double helix is composed of two DNA molecules whose sequences are complementary to each other. The stability of the duplex can be fine-tuned in the lab by controlling the ...

Scientists at the University of Vienna have achieved a significant milestone in DNA technology, introducing a breakthrough that expands the color spectrum available for DNA-based images. Traditionally ...

Using DNA origami, researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers -- a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. Using DNA origami, LMU ...

(Nanowerk News) The shimmering of butterfly wings in bright colors does not emerge from pigments. Rather, it is photonic crystals that are responsible for the play of colors. Their periodic ...
