Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make ...

Electric motors are all around us. They help run our air conditioners, our refrigerators, and just about anything that moves in a factory, like conveyor belts. In fact, as much as 45% of the world's ...

Scientists have discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one ...
