A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Visible light activates an iridium catalyst (pink ball) with a coating (grey balls) that homes in on NADH (red/grey/purple balls at the bottom) in cancer cells and removes an electron from it, ...

Biomedical research involves getting a close look at what’s happening inside of cells. Usually, that happens after cells are grown on a glass slide and then fixed in place. They can then be treated so ...

Researchers have developed a novel platinum-enhanced, light-activated compound that kills cancer cells in a unique way without requiring oxygen, overcoming a limitation with existing light-based ...

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 ...

"It is amazing that this large protein can penetrate into cancer cells and deliver iridium which can kill them." says Professor Peter Sadler from the Department of Chemistry at the University of ...
