The researchers dubbed the individual cells "microscopic tornadoes" for their rapid rotation, which both forms the crystals by drawing in other cells and then powers the crystals' own motion. Insects ...

A new invention—a robotic microscope—is opening the way for scientists to track changes in cells over time as genes are expressed and the resulting proteins go into action. Tracking this dynamic ...

Our window into the cellular world just got a whole lot clearer. By combining two imaging technologies, scientists can now watch in unprecedented 3-D detail as cancer cells crawl, spinal nerve ...

University of Arkansas’ assistant professor of biomedical engineering Timothy Muldoon has developed an endoscopic fiber-optic microscope capable of assisting medical staff in diagnosing the early ...
