Research on DNA Nanotubes Leads to New Means for Direct Communication with Cells

A remarkable microscopic feat resembling a high-wire circus act was achieved by Johns Hopkins researchers when they successfully managed to coax DNA nanotubes to arrange themselves into bridge-like structures arched between two molecular landmarks on the surface of a lab dish. Examples of this unusual nanoscale feat were captured on video.

Researchers Prove 3D Aromaticity in Stacked Antiaromatic Molecules

Aromatic molecules are made up of planar carbon-based rings with alternating single and double (π) bonds. These molecules possess 4n+2 (n = 0, 1, 2 ...) π electrons. π electrons are those involved in π bonds, which causes high stability because the π electrons delocalize over the ring structure.
