Scientists have engineered an extraordinary material by combining two unexpected elements: DNA and glass.
Researchers have been studying DNA's unique elements in order to build nanoscale structures. Building a structure out ofand then coating it with glass may have the potential to produce a long-lasting strong substance.
“We focused on using DNA as a programmable nanomaterial to form a complex 3D scaffold. And we wanted to explore how this scaffold will perform mechanically when transferred into more stable solid-state materials.

DNA remnants found in fossil of 6 million year old turtleRemnants of DNA have been discovered in fossilized remains dating to 6 million years ago of a sea turtle closely related to today's Kemp's ridley and olive ridley turtles, marking one of the rare times genetic material has been identified in such ancient fossils of a vertebrate, researchers said on Thursday.

A turtle time capsule: DNA found in ancient shellCurrently, only seven species of sea turtles exist. Among them are two in the genus Lepidochelys: the olive ridley and the Kemp's ridley. Despite being among the most common sea turtles in much of the Caribbean Sea and elsewhere, little is known about their history or evolution. The remains of a turtle shell recently found on Panama's Caribbean coast represent the oldest fossil evidence of these turtles ever found.
