## Caption

What you’re seeing is a rare event! Mitochondria transform from smooth tubes into a string-of-pearls shape, then back again—all in seconds.

Scientists use a super-fast microscope to capture this transition and uncover the physical forces that drive it.

It’s not a gene—it’s tension, pressure and elasticity that call the shots.
