A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Encouraged by these results, Dudin, Dey, Guichard, and Hamel launched a close collaboration. Three years later, their work has produced near-encyclopedic insight into hundreds of protist species and ...

For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Zhenyou at the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...

But watching how the flu virus sneaks into cells has been difficult because standard microscopes can't capture these fast, tiny steps clearly. In a breakthrough study, scientists from Switzerland and ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...
