Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...
