Visualizing neuronal activity in small brains over four dimensions

The potential costs of regulating synthetic biology must be counted against putative benefits.

Cracking the Secrets of Posttranslational Modifications

The researchers who aided in the development of the ubiquitous green florescent protein as a tool for cell and molecular biology have taken home this year's chemistry prize.

When Art Ashkin, Steve Chu, and their colleagues at Bell Labs in Holmdel, NJ, first invented optical tweezers, they spent their days pushing around tiny, glass spheres.

Shortly after the invention of the laser, Bell Labs physicist Arthur Ashkin began exploring the range of the new devices.

Integrated viral sequences can dysregulate genes.
