A new analysis suggests that Rosalind Franklin, who took the first images of DNA’s double-helix structure, knew far more ...

The robot vacuum cleaner Bishal Shrestha built for a ninth grade science project still sits in his home in Kathmandu, Nepal—a ...

Rosalind Franklin knew about DNA's double-helix structure ahead of Watson and Crick, a new study of her photos and notes reveals.

"Photo 51" was a cleaner version of an earlier X-ray image, "Photo 49," that Rosalind Franklin had already used to calculate key features of DNA, challenging long-held assumptions about her role in ...

Notes by the scientist pointing to a helical structure once again challenge the distorted account of her role in the ...

The work of British chemist Rosalind Franklin (1920–1958) played an integral role in the discovery of the structure of DNA, but it took many years for Franklin’s contributions to be fully recognized.

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study, ...

Octopuses, squid and cuttlefish, collectively known as coleoid cephalopods, have evolved exceptionally large and elaborately ...
