The new design method, which can produce virtually any polyhedral shape, relies on a top-down strategy, which begins with an outline of the desired form and works backward in stages to define the ...

"DnA," KCRW's show exploring the world of design and architecture, will become a weekly podcast and a blog, with design journalists reporting on emerging talent in Los Angeles and beyond. The show ...

A group of Chinese scientists has created powerful new tools that allow them to edit large chunks of DNA with incredible accuracy—and without leaving any trace. Using a mix of advanced protein design, ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable ...
