Strength is in this glass's DNA Researchers create a lightweight, high-strength material using two unlikely ingredients--DNA and glass Date: September 27, 2023 ...

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.

These DNA shapes are nanoscale building blocks that can be programmed using addressable DNA bonds to “self-assemble.” This means that well-defined structures with a repeating pattern can spontaneously ...

In tests, the scientists found that their glass DNA nanolattice material boasted a compressive strength of up to 5 GigaPascals (GPa). This, they say, is four times stronger than steel but with one ...

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 ...

Jul 25, 2023: Extraordinarily strong, lightweight material combines DNA and glass (Nanowerk News) Materials that are both strong and lightweight could improve everything from cars to body armor.But ...

Scientists at the Columbia University, University of Connecticut, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat ...

Sep 27, 2023: Strength is in this glass's DNA (Nanowerk News) Working on the nanoscale gives researchers a lot of insight and control when fabricating and characterizing materials.In larger scale ...
