Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code.

Six balloons tied together in a bunch arrange themselves in an octahedral fashion. As balloons are popped the resulting number conforms to the molecular shapes of VSEPR theory. To Conduct ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink ...

The double helix is a description of the molecular shape of a double-stranded DNA molecule. In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson first described the molecular structure of DNA, which they ...

The new work adds to this body of research by exploring the role of nanocrystal shape in more detail ... They combined these measurements with semi-empirical molecular dynamics simulations. The ...
