@scientific.stories: The Nobel Prize for a SINGLE PAGE? James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the DNA’s double helix structure in 1953.
They received their Nobel Prize 9 years later.
Using wire and metal plates, they constructed representations of possible DNA structures, systematically tweaking their designs to fit the available data.
They were testing many ideas, several of them were completely false, like assuming DNA might have
3 strands or the phosphor residues would be on the inside.
