A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

New device could be used to observe structures as small as individual proteins, as well as the environment in which they move ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Despite their size, the robots can navigate liquids, respond to their environment and operate without external control.

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in ...

Researchers built autonomous robots the size of salt grains—with onboard computers, sensors, and motors that think and swim ...

Researchers use laboratory tools every day to help them make groundbreaking discoveries. Read on to find out which ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have built the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever ...

Prof Brennan uses a surgical drill to remove a flap of skull. The exposed brain is pink, flushed with blood, and gently pulsing to the beat of the heart. Standing next to me is Dr Claire Durrant, an ...

Time-lapse of algae growing in water. We poured pond water in a glass container and added a small piece of algae into it. The ...
