Using High-precision Laser Tweezers To Juggle Cells Date: May 19, 2009 Source: University of Gothenburg Summary: Researchers have developed a new method to study single cells while exposing them ...

Using "laser tweezers," researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have measured the strength of the bond between a single integrin molecule on the surface of a platelet and ...

Using laser tweezers, chemists nudged two atoms to bond. It’s the first time chemists have manipulated two atoms to create a compound. GETTING TOGETHER For the first time, ...

I wish to clarify one point in the article "Special Report: Cell Biologists Combine Old With New Tools" [The Scientist, Dec. 10, 1990, page 28]. Although the article says that Cell Robotics was ...

The laser beam captures the polystyrene bead in its tweezers-like grip. Manipulating the laser tweezers, Bianco maneuvers the DNA into the path of the ATP, which jump-starts the helicase. The ...

UB physicists are using innovative tools to study the properties of a bizarre class of molecules that may play a role in disease: proteins that cluster together to form spherical droplets inside human ...

This diagram shows TAU's holographic laser tweezers. Credit: AFTAU Star Trek fans will remember "tractor beams," lasers that allowed the Starship Enterprise to trap and move objects.

But the tweezers developed by Hirano’s team exploit the dielectric properties of tiny latex beads, which are added to a solution of DNA molecules, each around 40 micrometres long. To grasp a strand, ...

Readers were curious about pendulum saws, laser tweezers and more. Your letters and comments on the April 28, 2018 and May 12, 2018 issue of Science News ...

Scientists and hackers continue to show that Microsoft's Kinect platform is a boundless source of both creative and useful applications. The latest, a project called HoloHands, seems like ...

The unique method, where a set of laser tweezers move the cell around in a microscopic channel system, allows the researchers to study how single cells react to stress induced by a constantly ...
