At first, Li Wang thought the results of her experiment were a fluke. While the UNC research associate was studying a DNA repair mechanism, she noticed a long black streak radiating from a common lab ...
The “Lab-on-a-Molecule” team at the Wyss Institute is using DNA nanoswitch technology to develop an in vitro, high-throughput, platform to identify compounds for drug discovery. The nanoswitch is a ...
MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...
After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived at a Berkeley Lab. With just 48 hours to experiment before it would become unusable, a ...
