Nanoscale rotor and gripper push DNA origami to new limits: Dietz lab's latest DNA nanomachines demonstrate dynamics and precision
Rotor mechanism assembled from 3-D DNA components.
Graphene slides smoothly across gold: Professor Xinliang Feng co-authors publication in Science journal
A graphene nanoribbon was anchored at the tip of an atomic force microscope and dragged over a gold surface. The observed friction force...
Hubble Team Breaks Cosmic Distance Record

What makes penguin feathers ice-proof
The range of Humboldt penguins extends from coastal Peru to the tip of southern Chile. Some of these areas can get frigid, and the water the birds swim in is part of a cold ocean current that sweeps up the coast from the Antarctic.
Remote predictions of fluid flow in fractures possible with new finding
A graph of the scaling relationship between fluid flow and fracture stiffness is shown. The shape of the symbol indicates the fracture...
LIGO's Twin Black Holes Might Have Been Born Inside a Single Star
Topological insulators: Magnetism is not causing loss of conductivity
In pure bismuth-selenide (left) no bandgap is found. With the addition of magnetic manganese (4 percent; 8 percent), a band gap (dashed...
