Rosalind Franklin knew about DNA's double-helix structure ahead of Watson and Crick, a new study of her photos and notes reveals.
A new analysis suggests that Rosalind Franklin, who took the first images of DNA’s double-helix structure, knew far more ...
"Photo 51" was a cleaner version of an earlier X-ray image, "Photo 49," that Rosalind Franklin had already used to calculate ...
James D. Watson, whose role as co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 made him one of the key figures in the rise of molecular biology as well as the obvious choice to be first ...
They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...
Notes by the scientist pointing to a helical structure once again challenge the distorted account of her role in the ...
Inside our bodies, there is a "molecular clock" that quietly counts how many times a cell can divide. It is the "telomere," a ...
