UCLA engineers are touting a lens-free cell phone microscope -- a telemedicine innovation lauded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, National Geographic and the National Science Foundation-- as a ...

Normally when cells crawling in an organism come into contact, they reverse and move randomly away from the other cell. But when nanofiber "tightropes" coated with proteins were suspended in a ...

In a twist on traditional smart-phone accessories, researchers have demonstrated fluorescent microscopy using a physical attachment to an ordinary cell phone. The researchers behind the device say ...

A new imaging tool could enable researchers to get three-dimensional images of single living cells without resorting to the time-honored procedure of staining their inner structures with chemicals.

A video from Cambridge University's Under the Microscope series reveals a battle to the death between a white blood cell and a cancer cell. The T cell (green), which is only 10 microns long, ...

Engineers have developed a functioning prototype of a cell phone microscope for telemedicine. The lensless imaging platform behind the cell phone microscope is nearing readiness for real world trials, ...

WASHINGTON – A microscopic cancer "smart bomb" powered by a single radioactive atom is able to find and kill tumor cells in laboratory experiments. Researchers hope to test the technique on human ...
