Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new research suggests cells may be generating power in ways biologists had not ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...

Fluorescent probes have transformed modern biology by allowing researchers to tag and visualize individual molecules in ...

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, ...

Tiny droplets are powering big ideas in science. Researchers have developed a miniature, soft, and flexible lithium-ion battery made from biocompatible hydrogel. This new battery, smaller than a grain ...

Biological tissues have a remarkable ability to organize and change shape, driven by forces generated by their own cells. One ...

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 ...

Chemotherapy kills cancer cells, but it also leaves behind something troubling: damaged cells that stop dividing yet refuse ...

Ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in medicine, but up until recently it hardly played a role in imaging the tiniest structures of our bodies such as cells. “Clinical ...

Imaging living cells in 3D Now, the team of scientists has managed to image specifically labeled cells in 3D with ultrasound. For the first time, they imaged living cells inside whole organs across ...
