When water comes into contact with plastic surfaces, a key chemical reaction does take place, new research indicates.

SpudCells may one day produce new medicines and materials. But first scientists have to improve them — and make sure they ...

It sounds like sci-fi, but satellite-connected cell service really is here. There are some asterisks though, and it's clearly ...

Scientists are using cell-free transcription and translation systems to synthesize proteins, design biology-based sensors and ...

For over a decade, scientists have made extraordinary progress on the long-held dream of fabricating an entire cell from nonliving molecules and materials. Such synthetic (or "engineered") cells would ...

Certain cells, commonly called excitable cells, are unique because of their ability to generate electrical signals. Although ...

UCLA scientists are calling for a large-scale initiative to understand how human cells influence one another — a missing layer of biology that could reveal how cellular interactions drive disease and ...

It looks like a magic trick: Cells at the bottom of a liquid medium begin levitating, then hovering at a particular height. With no physical contact, an invisible force directs certain cells to float ...
