Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less ...

Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...

In a new study, we and an international team of scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

The brain of the robot is a tiny electronic computer that features a processor, memory and sensors, making it the first ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

When a maize plant is attacked by the fungus Ustilago maydis, tumor-like tissue growths occur at the site of infection. How the pathogen causes this response in its host has long been unknown. But a ...
