Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

A new twist on two-photon polymerization has been used to deliver objects, including lasers and an elephant, directly into ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Drug discovery is shifting from static snapshots to moving pictures. Instead of inferring how medicines work from end results ...

In this study, researcher developed a new imaging approach that combines two powerful techniques to solve this problem. First, a special type of microscope called a two-photon microscope is used, ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells.

Diamond nanoparticles containing nitrogen-vacancy centers can now monitor cellular metabolism in real time, targeting specific organelles while tracking particle movement inside living cells.

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises unfold in real time. Inside every cell, DNA breaks, repairs, and sometimes ...
