🐠 Deep-sea hybrid fish filmed walking backwards

A bizarre 'fish-prawn' hybrid was filmed walking backward for the first time in the deep sea. Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University and the Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory observed this in the northern South China Sea. The footage documented three species, including Scalicus engyceros, on various dates.

🔬 DNA structures change with tiny chemical tweak

Researchers discovered how hydrophobic chain length can change DNA nanostructure assembly by adding molecular interactions to DNA tiles. This study was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition involving various tile motifs. Varying hexaethylene phosphate units resulted in structures like star-shaped networks and spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) by December 2023. This method allows for complex structures using fewer unique DNA sequences, boosting programmability. The findings show self-sorting based on hydrophobic chain length, leading to distinct nanostructure populations.
