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 ...

A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.

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

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

Tiny robots smaller than cells can swim, sense surroundings, and decode temperature through miniature dance-like movements ...

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

For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These ...

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...
