It may not be as catchy a name as Iron Man, but in a fight you might be better off betting on Glass DNA Nanolattice Man instead. Engineers at the University of Connecticut have developed a very strong ...

Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

Materials that are both strong and lightweight could improve everything from cars to body armor. But usually, the two qualities are mutually exclusive. Now, University of Connecticut researchers and ...

Scientists were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that was not only stronger than steel, but incredibly lightweight. Working on the ...

A new study developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel that combines immune regulation with sustained bone regeneration.

Scientists have developed a universal method for producing a wide variety of designed metallic and semiconductor 3D nanostructures -- the potential base materials for next-generation semiconductor ...

A material made from hollow nanoparticles and DNA is exceptionally strong, especially considering how small its building blocks are. It could eventually be used to build extremely sturdy medical and ...

DNA Moiré Superlattices are the focus of a study now published in Nature Nanotechnology. “Unlike conventional methods that rely on mechanical stacking and twisting of two-dimensional materials, our ...

A recent article in Nano Macro Small presents a new method for producing biohybrid materials by using bacteria to synthesize deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hydrogels outside the cell. The goal of the ...
