Abstract
A membrane-penetrating nanoneedle (also serving as a nanoelectrode) is developed for carrying and rapidly releasing individual quantum dots into the nucleus of a living cell via an electrochemical reaction activated by an electrical pulse. Direct delivery of biological probes into the nucleus with high spatial and temporal precision offers new strategies for the study of biological activity in a living cell.
