Repairing genetic mutations with lasers?

German researchers at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel CAU think they've proved that genetic information can be controlled by light. The group studied the interaction between the four DNA bases -- adenine A, cytosine C, guanine G, and thymine T -- by using femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The researchers think that...

Nanodisks used to encrypt information

PhysOrg.com reports that U.S. researchers have used nanotechnology tricks to develop nanodisks which could be useful to create codes to encrypt information. This method, which conceptually is similar to barcodes, could be used for DNA tagging or tracking goods and people. Even if this looks interesting, the best part is...
