The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual ...
How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-ray ...
Instead, blood appears to have been cobbled together from recycled and upgraded genetic machinery inherited from ...
Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside zebrafish cells, keratin plays a distinct role, giving them the strength they ...
All cells need to sense and respond to their environment—to know when to activate genes, build proteins and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they ...
Researchers introduced AI-ready microscopes capable of generating petabytes of biological imaging data across molecular, ...
A type of flatworms, called planarians, can regenerate whole organisms from pieces as small as one-279th of their body. 1 Depending on how these goofy-looking worms were cut, they could even come back ...
Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new study in mice. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that ...
