A tiny biodegradable bubble can move away from a chemical on its own, without a motor. Living cells need complex molecular machinery to do this. This discovery by researchers led by chemist Daniela Wilson at Radboud University, together with colleagues at Durham University, is a step toward artificial cells with lifelike behavior and could, in the long term, provide an interesting approach for self-steering particles in targeted drug delivery.

Chip identifies cells by their electrical signature, then separates them with a precisely aimed sound wave

In biomedicine, sorting cells accurately without damaging them remains a persistent problem. Current methods, like fluorescence-activated cell sorting, rely on labeling the cells extrinsically, which can stress the cells, alter their behavior and even interfere with the assay. A

From remedy to prevention: Researchers call for proactive approach to protect the human right to water

More than 2 billion people, or approximately one-quarter of the world's population, lack access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene, according to the United Nations Children's Fund. Today, 16 years after the U.N. General Assembly recognized this access as a fundamental human ri
