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

Until now, studying the genetic processes in cells required destroying them—making it impossible to observe these processes ...

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

Researchers have developed tiny flexible lasers that can be used to measure forces inside living cells. The new lasers could ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The value measured by the 3D Cell Explorer is not fluorescence intensity of an exogenous molecule like with most optical microscopes. In contrast, Nanolive’s technology detects the physical refractive ...
