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. (Nanowerk ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists were able to 3D-print different microstructures inside live cells, including a delightfully tiny micro-elephant. The team also printed ...

Since each cell has about six feet of DNA packed inside it, it must be folded up tightly to fit. This folding not only saves space -- it also controls which genes are active or inactive. But when the ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Ever wanted to ride a rollercoaster through the inside of a bacterial cell? Now you can, at least in Minecraft. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created CraftCells – ...

It started as a joke. How do you put an elephant in a refrigerator? You open the door and put it in. So, how do you put in a giraffe? You open the door, take out the elephant, and put the giraffe in.
