    The researchers discovered a new telomere structure DNA with the help of physics and a small magnet


    When you hear DNA, you usually don't think of physics


    String beads

    Every cell in our body contains chromosomes that carry the genes that determine our traits (for example, what we look like


    In their study, John van Noort and colleagues discovered another telomere structure


    Magnetic ball

    This new structure was discovered through a combination of electron microscopy and molecular force spectroscopy


    Building blocks

    Structure is the "holy grail of molecular biology"


    Telomeres are regions of the DNA sequence that repeat at the ends of chromosomes
