The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss ...

DNA strands of well-defined sequence are valuable in synthetic biology and nanostructure assembly. Drawing inspiration from solid-phase synthesis, here we describe a DNA assembly method that uses time ...

We describe a new computer program, Trilogy, for the automated discovery of sequence-structure patterns in proteins. Trilogy implements a pattern discovery algorithm that begins with an exhaustive ...

Newcastle University provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK. After thousands of years of trying, mathematicians are still working out the number known as pi or “π”. We typically think of ...

Bryna Kra searches for structures. “[I love] finding order where you didn’t know it existed,” she said. But though her dad was a mathematician, at Stony Brook University in New York, Kra said it took ...

What Is A Fibonacci Sequence? Patterns are found all over the natural world. From the grasping tendrils of a plant to the dew-laden web of a spider, we can see repeated sequences as a product of ...

On Friday, March 20, as the U.S. stock market closed out its worst week since 2008 amid coronavirus-related turmoil (before recovering somewhat early the following week), investors were left with a ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...
