A tiny stack of printed nanomaterials, thinner than a human hair and flexible enough to bend with living tissue, just did ...

In 1986, three physicists scribbled down an equation they believed could describe how rough edges form on almost anything ...

Normally, cells must be lysed for a so-called transcriptome analysis - which reveals which genes are currently being ...

Researchers have developed tiny flexible lasers that can be used to measure forces inside living cells. The new lasers could help illuminate various biological processes, including those involved in ...

A joke between researchers turned into the first structure 3D-printed inside a living cell, a precursor to building ...

A living, synthetic cell has been made by transplanting a complete genome into a dead bacterium, bringing it back to life. The breakthrough could help synthetic biology live up to its huge, but still ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

3D printing technology has already transformed the field of biomedical research by allowing scientists to produce soft tissue, replacement windpipes, and working hearts on a whim. But each of these ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...
