Rediscovered letters and postcards highlight the fierce competition among scientists who discovered DNA's famous double-helix structure and unraveled the genetic code. Francis Crick and James D.

Before Watson and Crick basked in Nobel glory, before The Double Helix mythologized their genius, there was the photo. Photo 51 — crisp, clear, and groundbreaking — captured by Dr. Rosalind Franklin, ...

The control of artificial double-helical structures, which are essential for the development of high-order molecular systems, remains difficult. In a new study, researchers have developed novel double ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a double helix. That picture is still right, but it is no longer enough.

In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson discovered DNA and the double helix model, right? Well, this is the story, a story of science that is based on stereotypes of scientists as independent ...

In geometry a double helix (plural helices) typically consists of two congruent helices with the same axis, differing by a translation along the axis, which may or may not be half-way. The term ...

Franklin’s experience was far from unusual. Scientific discovery is shaped by patriarchy and colonialism as the story of ...

Feedback, a Lego fan, delves into a new science-related set, and learns that the model of a DNA double helix is the wrong way around. Time for some jokes about mirror organisms... Feedback may be well ...
