Researchers have developed nanorobots that kill cancer cells in mice. The robot's weapon is hidden in a nanostructure and is exposed only in the tumour microenvironment, sparing healthy cells.

Patients are being warned to stop using some glucose monitors made by Abbott Diabetes Care after the company found malfunctioning sensors may be linked to hundreds of adverse events and several deaths ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and aging biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and ...

This footage shows the fluorescent sensors in action inside a living cell. They appear as bright green spots the moment they bind to sites of DNA damage. Cancer research, drug safety testing and ...

A special sensor can accommodate various device sizes while recording accurate notes regarding substance levels such as blood, insulin, and IV fluids. A non-contact level sensor does not come into ...

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...

Fluorescent proteins can be turned into qubits within cells and could give us a deeper understanding of biology at the nanoscale level. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

What just happened? Researchers at University College London have developed a new type of solar cell capable of efficiently generating power from indoor light, a breakthrough that could reduce ...

Such sensors could one day carry out MRI at the scale of individual cells or aid researchers in drug development. Fragile quantum states might seem incompatible with the messy world of biology. But ...
