Perturbation-free studies of single molecules
Researchers of the University of Basel have developed a new method with which individual isolated molecules can be studied precisely – without destroying the molecule or even influencing its quantum state. This highly sensitive technique…![[Translate to English:] ""](/fileadmin/_processed_/c/a/csm_polymersomes_in_cell_nucleus_1000x500_2dd818dbfe.jpg?1614784314)

Nanocontainers introduced into the nucleus of living cells
An interdisciplinary team from the University of Basel has succeeded in creating a direct path for artificial nanocontainers to enter into the nucleus of living cells. To this end, they produced biocompatible polymer vesicles that can pass…![[Translate to English:] ""](/fileadmin/_processed_/f/6/csm_Farbreaktion_1000x500_fcfec8c0a6.jpg?1614784314)
