What DNA actually looks like!

The image shows a single thread of double-stranded DNA suspended on a bed of nanoscopic silicon pillars. It was created by Enzo di Fabrizio and a team at Italy’s University of Genoa, which developed a new technique (“an experimental breakthrough,” they call it) for the purpose.



The team published the details of this imaging technique in the journal Nanoletters. And the new system represents a significant step forward for nanobiology and all the fields connected to it, giving scientists a new way to understand DNA. Particularly when it comes to its structure — the stuff beyond the double helix.
