MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

When a user pulls the string, the structure moves smoothly into its final 3D form. If the user releases the string, the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

However, the open-source project isn’t about bragging rights. With over 2.75 billion buildings detailed in the map, the ...

Printing 3D objects has always felt like a daunting and expensive affair, but we are beginning to see 3D printers come down in price substantially. The problem is that it’s still difficult to create ...
