In this lecture, Nobel Laureate W.E. Moerner discusses his groundbreaking work on imaging single molecules and the remarkable impact it has had on modern research and medicine. From characterizing nanoscale structure to following single biomolecules in living cells, this work unravels the complexity of biological systems by allowing us to see the cellular world one molecule at a time.

An American physical chemist, Moerner is the Harry S. Mosher Professor of Chemistry and Professor, by courtesy, of Applied Physics at Stanford University.
