When you look up at the blue sky, where are the stars that you see at night? They’re there but we can’t see them. A firefly flitting across a field is invisible to us during the day, but at night we ...

Researchers at Scotland's University of St. Andrews have demonstrated the world's first polariton laser based on lab-grown, fluorescent jellyfish proteins -- which could help trigger major advances in ...

Scientists that study molecules in cells use a common tool to spotlight the proteins they are interested in - they mark stuff in the cell with tags that light up when illuminated by fluorescent ...

Fluorescent proteins from jellyfish that were grown in bacteria have been used to create a laser for the first time, according to a new study. The breakthrough represents a major advance in so-called ...

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Nov. 23 (UPI) --Scientists have created a bright red protein that can be used to tag and track cells and cellular processes. The breakthrough will aid stem-cell and cancer ...

June 27 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a more effective way to highlight and watch the molecular machinery inside a cell. Using fluorescent biomarkers, researchers successfully observed the ...

Scientists have found that the luminous part of a jellyfish can be helpful in the search for new heart disease treatments. A team from the Technical University of Munich extracted a fluorescent ...

Scientists at the University of Bath (UK) and Shanghai Normal University (China) have developed a biocompatible fluorescent spray that detects fingerprints in ten seconds. The spray, based on a ...

It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- New research offers prospect of watching the brain as it learns. Scientists at the University of Leicester are developing new ways of studying how brain cells work -thanks to ...
