For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA ...

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 ...

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 ...

All four of the key DNA building blocks have now been found in meteorites, suggesting that space rocks may have delivered the compounds to Earth, contributing to the origin of life. DNA has a ...

DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...

Scientists have confirmed that DNA found in meteorites includes all five nucleobases essential for life, strengthening ...

(Nanowerk News) Using x-ray crystallography, researchers studied 36 DNA-based molecular junctions and discovered factors that yield superior 3D self-assembled lattice structures (Nature Communications ...

Scientists have been finding evidence of life inside meteorites for well over 100 years — that, or the building blocks of life. The claims of life have been debunked every time, most recently just ...
