Cellular 'Position Lights' Made from Nanoparticles

In a groundbreaking, new study conducted at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, German researchers have set the basis for understanding how nanoparticles appear in nature. The work has also yielded cadmium sulphide particles coated in membrane bubbles at the microscopic s... [ read more >> ]

Vesicles with different reactants have different fluorescent substances in their membranes (a). When the bubbles fuse, red fluorescent nanoparticles form (b). The particles can be seen as bright dots under the transmission electron microscope (c)
