UCLA engineers are touting a lens-free cell phone microscope -- a telemedicine innovation lauded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, National Geographic and the National Science Foundation-- as a ...

Scientists have developed a new class of microscopic antibody fragments capable of functioning inside human cells, overcoming a long-standing limitation in biomedical science.

Normally when cells crawling in an organism come into contact, they reverse and move randomly away from the other cell. But when nanofiber "tightropes" coated with proteins were suspended in a ...

A video from Cambridge University's Under the Microscope series reveals a battle to the death between a white blood cell and a cancer cell. The T cell (green), which is only 10 microns long, ...

In a twist on traditional smart-phone accessories, researchers have demonstrated fluorescent microscopy using a physical attachment to an ordinary cell phone. The researchers behind the device say ...

Engineers have developed a functioning prototype of a cell phone microscope for telemedicine. The lensless imaging platform behind the cell phone microscope is nearing readiness for real world trials, ...

A UCLA scientist's cell phone microscope -- pocket-size technology for global health researchers -- is the top innovation of 2011, according to a list published by The Scientist magazine. Instead of ...

WASHINGTON – A microscopic cancer "smart bomb" powered by a single radioactive atom is able to find and kill tumor cells in laboratory experiments. Researchers hope to test the technique on human ...
