Scientists demonstrate the relativistic contraction of an electric field produced by fast-moving charged particles, as predicted by Einstein's theory, which can help improve radiation and particle physics research.
DNA can be used to reliably store a vast amount of digital data. However, retrieval or manipulation of specific data encoded in these molecules has hitherto been difficult. Now, researchers have pioneered the application of a new method that harnesses enzymes, offering initial clues as to how these technical obstacles may be overcome.
