Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...
