Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen nuclear spins. Their findings suggest that DNA could be used as both a storage ...

REx brought back to Earth 121 grams of material from asteroid Bennu. This is the largest sample ever collected and brought ...

Japanese scientists detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu ...

The building blocks for organic matter have been discovered on the asteroid Bennu, as deatiled in a new study in the journal ...

Samples contain all five nucleobases of DNA and RNA, supporting theory that asteroids may have seeded Earth with life's ...

Samples of Bennu were brought back to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft in 2023. Now, a pair of newly published papers ...

Scientists detected all five nucleobases -- building blocks of DNA and RNA -- in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.

Asteroids, small airless bodies within the inner solar system, are theorized to have contributed water and chemical building blocks of life to Earth billions of years ago. Although meteorites on Earth ...

Japanese collaborators detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid ...

People genetically susceptible to Huntington's disease often see their movement, mood, and cognition decline slowly over time.

These orientations vary across the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. Furthermore, spin system simulations analyzed the electric field gradient data of adjacent bases, showing that ...

A computational study has replaced the carbon in cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine and deoxyribose with nitrogen and boron to understand what carbonless DNA might be like. The study generated a set ...
