Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

We and our colleagues have developed a way to store data using pegs and pegboards made out of DNA and retrieving the data with a microscope – a molecular version of the Lite-Brite toy. Our prototype ...

Breaks in DNA are typically associated with harmful conditions, and the cell has ways to repair this damage. But it's been suggested that double stranded breaks (DSBs) are an essential part of the ...

We and our colleagues have developed a way to store data using pegs and pegboards made out of DNA and retrieving the data with a microscope – a molecular version of the Lite-Brite toy. Our prototype ...

An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ's Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...

A crack team of nanoengineers and biologists have created a non-volatile memory device out of salmon DNA and silver nanoparticles. The memory is write-once-read-many (WORM), just like an optical disc.

Josh Hihath is trying to fuse biology and electrical engineering and to build new types of electronic memory based on DNA. Hihath, professor in the UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer ...

French digital data startup Biomemory SAS has announced what it claims is the first instance of DNA-based storage being made available to the general public, with the launch of its new DNA memory ...

Northwestern University researchers have uncovered a previously unknown property of colloidal crystals, highly ordered three-dimensional arrays of nanoparticles. The team engineered colloidal crystals ...

A new study has suggested that two processes that are usually thought of as harmful: DNA damage and inflammation, may actually be processes that are required whenever we form long-term memories. Brain ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...

To quickly express genes needed for learning and memory, brain cells snap both strands of DNA in many more places and cell types than previously realized. The urgency to remember a dangerous ...
