Firefighting drones could be the latest firefighting technology

‘FireDrone’, a new firefighting technology, can enter burning buildings, monitor fires, and provide real-time information about people inside. Drones are already used remotely by firefighters to take aerial photos, lift fire hoses into skyscrapers, or drop fire extinguishers into remote areas to slow the spread of wildfires. However, current drones designed for firefighting are often

Research discovers how DNA can be folded into complex shapes to perform new functions

In a study by scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, DNA was found to fold into complex, three-dimensional structures and mimic the functions of proteins.The DNA molecule they designed to mimic the function of a protein called green fluorescent protein (GFP)

Chemists develop a new approach to chiral materials: Applications in sensing and anti-counterfeiting technology

Some molecules exist in two forms so their structures and mirror images are not perfect, like our left and right hands. Called chirality, it is a property of these molecules due to their asymmetry. Chiral molecules tend to be transparent because of how they interact with light. Usually, only one type of chiral molecule exists
