A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their results.

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.
