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 ...

A single shot transforms the mice’s brains into biomanufacturing machines. Blood proteins churn the injected chemicals into a soft, flexible electrode mesh that seamlessly wraps around delicate ...

Our cells produce energy in biological power plants called mitochondria. These energy-makers have minds of their own. They operate using a unique set of DNA and can travel outside cells. Like ...
