Scientists have successfully created a DNA nanomachine, similar to molecular robots, that can move and work together at the nanometer scale. The nanomachine, driven by the chemical energy of DNA-templated RNA-transcription-consuming nucleoside triphosphates, demonstrates controlled, rhythmic pulsating motion. This breakthrough has potential applications in nanotechnology, medicine, and materials science.
Australian cultivated food company Vow claims to have produced the first meat product made from mammoth DNA by using advanced molecular engineering to resurrect the woolly mammoth in meatball form, by combining original mammoth DNA with fragments of an African elephant’s DNA. The company identified the mammoth myoglobin, a protein that is key to giving meat its color and taste, and then used publicly available data to identify the DNA sequence in mammoths. The mammoth meatball is set to be officially unveiled at NEMO Science Museum in the Netherlands today.
