DNA does yoga
Researchers have figured out how to make DNA bend and twist into a variety of new shapes. These curvy new molecules could someday be used to build nanoscale devices -- smaller than the width of a human hair -- for delivering drugs inside the body, growing new tissues or studying single proteins.

High school students 'write' with atoms while visiting Tufts University lab
Two decades after the first physicist moved individual atoms to create his company's logo, Boston high school students were able to do the same thing in a lab at Tufts University. The Tufts researchers do not know of any other high school students performing experiments involving moving individual carbon monoxide molecules to write letters.

Who can figure out the toucan? You can!
The toco toucan's bill occupies a special place in the hall of animal oddities.
Making up about one-third of the bird's total body length, it's the largest bill of any bird, compared to its owner's body size. Scientists have puzzled for centuries over the bill's possible purpose. Might be used for attracting mates? Maybe for manipulating fruit?

MSU naturalist finds public more tolerant of critter encounters
In the "man vs. wild" encounters of summer, people today seem less likely to overreact with violence, if calls to Michigan State University's "Critter Guy" are an indication. More folks just want to learn about the snakes and other creepy crawlers they stumble upon, James Harding reports, and that's a good sign.
