Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

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

The upper size limit on cell-penetrating drug molecules may be much higher than medicinal chemists had thought. A research team reports that molecules believed to be much too large to diffuse across ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

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.

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Photons of light possess linear and angular momentum. This fundamental characteristic is crucial to trapping objects optically using a highly focused laser beam. Using this light feature, the Optical ...
