Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

Developmental biologists at Tufts University in Massachusetts have produced what they call “neurobots”, small clumps of cells ...

Hydrogel micromachines recreate the push and pull of living cells, helping scientists study how mechanical forces shape tissues in the lab.

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

Scientists have built atom-sized pores that act like living ion channels, opening the door to next-generation nanotech.

Living brain tissue can now be made transparent, helping scientists see deeper neurons while keeping cells active.

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

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 ...
