Scientists currently study cells using molecules that change colour in response to chemical reactions. The Apollo-NADP+ sensor is different in that it uses a light polarization change and can be tuned to any desired colour. This makes it a versatile tool for studying diabetes, cancer and a variety of other conditions. (Photo: Luke Ng)
