Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about the mechanism behind cancer progression. Researchers explored the influence the mechanical stiffening of the tumor cell's environment may have on the ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

The polarized diSPIM microscope, which can image full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells. The instrument was constructed in the Hari Shroff lab at the National Institute of Biomedical ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have created an endoscopic device that can 3D image the stiffness of individual biological cells and complex organisms, a discovery that could help doctors ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

It is 7 am, the alarm clock rings—you open your eyes, swing your legs out of bed, give a talk at work, play a tennis match in the evening. Billions of nerve cells that make up the gray matter in our ...

In 2022 alone, over 20 million people were diagnosed with cancer, and nearly 10 million died from the disease, according to the World Health Organization. While the reaches of cancer are massive, the ...
