Tiny, quivering spheres designed to feed and multiply raise prospect of artificial organisms to make drugs, food and fuel ...

Scientists have created the world’s first man-made cell that can eat, grow and reproduce. Called SpudCell, it is the work of ...

Scientists have created SpudCell, a synthetic cell assembled entirely from non-living materials that can grow, copy DNA and ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

Imaging living cells in 3D Now, the team of scientists has managed to image specifically labeled cells in 3D with ultrasound. For the first time, they imaged living cells inside whole organs across ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new research suggests cells may be generating power in ways biologists had not ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...
