Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers have developed an ...

Surface model of SpCas9–reverse transcriptase–pegRNA–target DNA complex. The prime editor, composed of a SpCas9 and a reverse transcriptase, reverse transcribes template sequence in pegRNA, resulting ...

Artistic representation of a helical peptide polymer electrolyte with the macrodipole indicated by an arrow with positive and negative charges. Solid-state electrolytes have been explored for decades ...

For the first time, a giant helical structure spanning millions of kilometers has been captured on camera as it emerged from the Sun. In 2020, the European Space Agency (ESA), with help from NASA, ...

Solid-state electrolytes have been explored for decades for use in energy storage systems and in the pursuit of solid-state batteries. These materials are safer alternatives to the traditional liquid ...
