Budget cuts force Sweden to consider CERN pull-out

Maximum pull out force on DNA hybrids

We discuss theoretically the force F between two colloidal particles, each of them carrying one single strand DNA. The two strands are complementary only on a finite sequence of (`) consecutive base pairs. We define an adjustment length κ−1 (a few base pairs): in the adjustment regions near both ends of the paired region, the tension is still mainly on one single strand. But in the central part...

Opt-out HIV testing could decrease the number of undiagnosed infections and provide for timely connection...
