DNA fibers by electrospinning
Abstract
Thin fibers of calf thymus Na-DNA were electrospun from aqueous solutions with concentrations from 0.3% to 1.5%. In electrospinning, a high voltage is used to create an electrically charged jet of liquid solution, which dries to leave a polymer fiber. The electrospun DNA fibers have diameters around 50 to 80 nm. The diameter of the electrospun fibers is an order of magnitude or more smaller than that of previously reported fibers. The DNA fibers were observed by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Bead-like structures were observed on many of the fibers. During electrospinning a process called splaying causes the jet to split longitudinally into two smaller jets, which split again, repeatedly, until the very small diameter fibers are formed. The small-diameter fibers are transparent in ordinary 100 kV electron microscopes. Fibers can be spun from samples of DNA as small as 1 mg.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
