Hebrew University Inches Closer to Harnessing DNA Molecules for Disease Detection and Electronics

Hebrew University Inches Closer to Harnessing DNA Molecules for Disease Detection and Electronics

15 September, 2020

We all know that DNA molecules express heredity through genetic information.  However, in the past few years, scientists have discovered that DNA can conduct electrical currents.  This makes it an interesting candidate for roles that nature did not intend for this molecule, such as smaller, faster and cheaper electric circuits in electronic devices, and to detect the early stages of diseases like cancer and COVID-19.
