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.

Breweries typically monitor fermentation by analyzing broth composition. Alcohols, esters, acids and residual sugars are quantified via chromatography-based assays. While reliable, these tests are ...

Tunable red to green emissions in upconversion nanoparticles allow precise identification of single particles, enabling accurate, long-term multicolor tracking in complex live cell environments.

Drug discovery is shifting from static snapshots to moving pictures. Instead of inferring how medicines work from end results ...
