It is the famous lightbulb-going-off story every school kid learns: How James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA, cementing their place in scientific history. But as William ...

Watson and Crick’s landmark paper, published in Nature in 1953, included only a cursory acknowledgment of Franklin’s work.

We looked at the inverse problem: we started from the DNA’s response to aggressive stresses, such as the forced unzipping of the double helix, to recover the details of the thermodynamics.
