It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil ...

Scientists have engineered a nanoscale switch using DNA "origami." Inspired by macroscale mechanical switches, the device achieves long-term functionality without the continuous forcing mechanism that ...

Silver nanoparticles provide a more efficient way to cut and assemble DNA, improving recovery rates and boosting DNA joining ...

Caltech researchers have identified a novel chemical reaction that could explain the formation of the building blocks of DNA and RNA, the molecules that encode all of life's functions. The work is an ...

Die Natur erklären wir, das Seelenleben verstehen wir [Nature we explain, but psychic life we understand] ― Wilhelm Dilthey, 1894 When I first started studying psychology, I noticed there were two ...

A tiny set of ancient genetic “switches” may have played a surprisingly large role in making human language possible. Researchers found that these DNA regions, which act like volume controls for genes ...

How diseases develop and how the body ages can differ between females and males, but the biological reasons for these differences are not fully understood. Researchers are studying the role of sex ...

As Maharashtra CET announced the PCB 1st attempt result, the students are curious about marks and percentile. With the MHT CET 2026 scorecard expected to play a decisive role in engineering and ...

You can listen to more articles from The Conversation, narrated by Noa, here. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed what they describe as a fundamentally new type of vaccine using ...

Chemically, DNA isn’t as stable as it looks. One of its four letters quietly breaks down on its own, with no outside trigger. Cells rely on a DNA repair enzyme to catch it before it locks in a ...
