A cacophony of barking alerts me to the cardboard box delivered to my front door. Packed inside is a single sheet of white corrugated plastic folded into what looks like a large suitcase. My canine ...

The sensor uses a DNA origami scaffold, which consists of two arms connected by a molecular “hinge.” Each arm is tagged with a fluorescent dye, and the distance between the tags is recorded by means ...
