59 years after James Watson and Francis Crick deduced the double-helix structure of DNA, a scientist from Italy has captured the first direct photograph of the twisted ladder that props up life.
Who: Enzo Di Fabrizio, a physics professor at Magna Graecia University in Catanzaro, Italy.
What: The first picture of DNA. They built a nanoscopic landscape of extremely water-repellant silicon pillars. When they added a solution that contained strands of DNA into this scene, the water quickly evaporated and left behind cords of bare DNA that stretched like tightropes.
When: 2012.
Where: Magna Graecia University in Catanzaro, Italy.
