Franklin's lab notes show she grasped the significance of her DNA images, according to a new essay.

A new study of Rosalind Franklin’s Photograph 49 says she suspected DNA’s helical shape and took her famous Photograph 51 to ...

"Photo 51" was a cleaner version of an earlier X-ray image, "Photo 49," that Rosalind Franklin had already used to calculate key features of DNA, challenging long-held assumptions about her role in ...

A new analysis suggests that Rosalind Franklin, who took the first images of DNA’s double-helix structure, knew far more ...

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died. He was 97. The ...

A few years back, the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of the DNA double helix by biologists James D. Watson and Francis H. C. Crick was grandly celebrated. In fact, it's a double ...

Accurately reconstructing how the parts of a complex molecular are held together knowing only how the molecule distorts and breaks up—this was the challenge taken on by a research team led by SISSA's ...

A double helix is made of two spiraling lines that are intertwined together. A famous example of a double helix is the structure of a DNA molecule. You can draw a ...
