Visible light activates an iridium catalyst (pink ball) with a coating (grey balls) that homes in on NADH (red/grey/purple balls at the bottom) in cancer cells and removes an electron from it, ...

"It is amazing that this large protein can penetrate into cancer cells and deliver iridium which can kill them." says Professor Peter Sadler from the Department of Chemistry at the University of ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

There's a problem in cell biology research: to study what happens inside a cell, it has to be destroyed. When scientists use a traditional microscope to observe a cell, they use stains — chemicals ...

Powerful microscopes have made a quantum leap. Using a quantum trick with light has allowed researchers to examine living cells in unprecedented detail without destroying them, a technique that could ...
