| Posted: 26 Mar 2021 07:46 AM PDT Nanowires are vital components for future nanoelectronics, sensors, and nanomedicine. To achieve the required complexity, it is necessary to control the position and growth of the metal chains on an atomic level. A research team has introduced a novel approach that generates precisely controlled, helical, palladium-DNA systems that mimic the organization of natural base pairs in a double-stranded DNA molecule. |
| After AIs mastered Go and Super Mario, scientists have taught them how to 'play' experiments Posted: 25 Mar 2021 12:00 PM PDT Inspired by the mastery of artificial intelligence (AI) over games like Go and Super Mario, scientists have trained an AI agent - an autonomous computational program that observes and acts - how to conduct research experiments at superhuman levels by using the same approach. |
| Plant gene found in insect, shields it from leaf toxins Posted: 25 Mar 2021 11:59 AM PDT Millions of years ago, aphid-like insects called whiteflies incorporated a portion of DNA from plants into their genome. A research team reveals that whiteflies use this stolen gene to degrade common toxins plants use to defend themselves against insects, allowing the whitefly to feed on the plants safely. |
| Warriors' down bedding could ease journey to realm of the dead Posted: 25 Mar 2021 08:54 AM PDT Feathers, an owl head and oars suggest the people in this Iron Age grave were prepared for a long journey. |
