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.

A self-organisation is an universal phenomenon in nature and, in particular, is highly important in materials systems. Our goal was to develop a new theory that provides a computationally effective ...

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 ...

This month marks the centenary of the birth of Rosalind Elsie Franklin, who was born in Notting Hill, London, on July 25, 1920. Her experimental studies on the structure of DNA gave rise to the double ...

IMAGINE DNA. Chances are, the double helix leaps to mind. Ever since James Watson and Francis Crick proposed this elegant structure in 1953, the image of two gracefully intertwined ribbons framing the ...
