Scientists Observe Self -Sorting Phenomena of Artificial Nanofibers in Real Time

Similar to the way in which ants helped the Greek goddess Psyche in sorting a room filled with various grains, cells organize molecules into strong, functional fibers - but without any assistance. Researchers have now noticed that these self-sorting phenomena occur with artificial molecules in real time.

Nanolive’s New Microscope Observes Living Cells in 3D

Nanolive is planning to launch a new microscope, also know as the 3D Cell Explorer, on December 14. This new microscope will help to observe living cells in 3D. For the very first time, this invention will enable researchers to examine the inside of living cells without causing any damage to them. Preventing the cells from being stained, and eliminating the need to develop the sample far in advance. The invention will be displayed for the first time at the world’s biggest cellular biology conference in San Diego, U.S.
