Scientists were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that was not only stronger than steel, but incredibly lightweight.

They then coated the enjoined DNA strands with a glass-like material only a few hundred atoms thick, leaving relatively large empty spaces akin to rooms in a house.

Coating DNA with a pure form of glass has resulted in a new material that is four times stronger than steel but incredibly lightweight. Further research could lead to new engineering or defense ...

Nanopore sensing can extract cell-free DNA from a liquid sample. Researchers used electric current to direct free-floating DNA into the 20 nanometer opening of a glass tube. The DNA concentrated ...

The end result is thin strands of glass-coated DNA which gain strength from the support of both materials, and are lightweight because these strands form a frame that surrounds mostly empty space.

Constant exposure to radiation from space changes the properties of lunar glass, which some scientists think we can exploit.

Through science to the stars (right) Entitled Per scientiam ad astra, this stained-glass piece of art was created by Ukraine-born artist Oksana Kondratyeva and was inspired by the casing for a quantum ...

A new technique for probing the 3-D structure of ancient DNA may help scientists learn how extinct animals functioned, not just what they looked like.

Young practitioners are helping make stained glass, which fell out of fashion over two decades ago, a vibrant art form in Australia once again.

Explore the fascinating science of glass with these home experiments. Sweeping ICE Arrests in Blow to Immigration Crisis Dramatic video shows Royal Navy warship HMS Dragon shooting down supersonic ...

On this small scale, the glass is insensitive to flaws or defects, providing a strength that isn’t seen in larger pieces of glass where cracks develop and cause it to shatter.

Researchers fabricated a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that is not only stronger than steel, but incredibly lightweight.
