Particles in a liquid and a gas move continuously. Because of this movement, particles will spread themselves evenly throughout a liquid or a gas. If a crystal of a coloured chemical, eg potassium ...

Quantum dots diffuse within living cells in a nearly two-dimensional fashion. This result, which was obtained using a new 3D microscopy technique that can track single particles, sheds fresh light on ...

A surge of single-cell fluorescence studies has shown that genetically identical cells residing within the same environment can display extensive cell-to-cell variability in the expression levels of ...

Sticky spots on cell membranes hold onto the master regulator of cell polarity, helping to ensure that the regulatory protein accumulates in high enough concentrations to trigger cell polarity. Over ...

Recent studies have revealed that within cells of both yeast and bacteria, the rates of diffusion of RNA proteins - complex molecules that convey important information throughout the cell - are ...

Researchers studying the movement, interactions and microenvironments of intracellular molecules often need to analyze information on the patterns and rates with which molecules diffuse within the ...
