A team of scientists from Harvard Medical School and Duke University has created a new kind of tissue that can change heart activity using only light—no wires, no surgery, no harm. This groundbreaking ...

Re-engineering force-regulating proteins inside cells to control their behavior with specific wavelengths of light. Side view of a small group of optogenetically activated cells forming a furrow ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Biomedical and genetic engineers at Duke University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have developed a technique that naturally increases the presence of a light-sensitive molecule ...

Researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborating institutions have developed a non-invasive approach to manipulate cardiac tissue activity by using light to stimulate an innovative ink ...

Researchers have developed an AI-driven nanothermometer that uses invisible light to create 3D temperature maps inside living tissue, enabling safer, noninvasive diagnostics. (Nanowerk News) A team of ...
