Opening up DNA to Delete Disease
Custom-built molecules enable editing of genes previously obscured by DNA's innately protective structure
Using a Material's 'Memory' to Encode Unique Physical Properties
A new study shows that, as materials age, they 'remember' prior stresses and external forces, which scientists and engineers can then use to create new materials with unique properties
New Method Captures Real-Time Movement of Millions of Molecules in 3D
The interferometry technique has applications for tracking molecules at a cell or tissue scale
