Biophysicists developed a technique that speeds up screening of individual DNA molecules at least a thousand times. With this technology, they can measure millions of DNA molecules within a week instead of years to decades.
Polymeric nanocarriers autonomously cross plant cell walls, delivering proteins for stress sensing and engineering, offering new possibilities in agriculture.
Researchers have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions - repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data - that uses DNA rather than conventional electronics.
