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.

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

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

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 ...

To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city ...

Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act ...

Perovskite solar cells have long been the most exciting “almost there” technology in clean ...

No one saw the blob takeover coming. In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying ...
