Researchers in the College of Science and College of Engineering have discovered that a high-strength polymer called "PBDT" has a rare double helix structure, opening possibilities for use in a ...

NEW YORK — The discovery of DNA’s double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science — and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit. Now, two ...

Exactly 66 years ago, on April 25, 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson published their famous article that showed that the shape of DNA is a double helix. They weren’t able to see DNA directly - it’s ...

One of the most familiar shapes in science is DNA’s double helix structure. First discovered in 1953, this structure uncovered a wealth of information about our genes and the DNA molecules that encode ...
