Caltech researchers have identified a novel chemical reaction that could explain the formation of the building blocks of DNA ...

In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck ...

It's been two years since the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft returned home with exactly 4.3 ounces (121.6 grams) of ...

A new method for recognizing and targeting DNA that dramatically expands the range of genetic sequences scientists can ...

Scientists detected all five nucleobases -- building blocks of DNA and RNA -- in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission. Japanese collaborators detected all five nucleobases ...

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

Mitochondria are the energy suppliers of our cells and have their own genetic material, which triggers an inflammatory response when released into the cell's interior. Some cardiac and ...

Japanese collaborators detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. Asteroids, small airless bodies within the ...
