What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers have succeeded in developing a microscope ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

New research validates that cancer cells under compression trigger mitochondria near the nucleus to rapidly release ATP, helping DNA repair; observed in HeLa cells and linked to invasive tumor ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

For the first time, scientists can watch living Antarctic fish cells at work in real time, and it's already showing how extreme environments can force living things to adapt even at the microscopic ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of the most detailed views of life ever recorded. Day and night, they collect ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a miniature microscope that allows scientists to observe and activate individual brain cells ...

A complete, ready-to-teach GCSE Biology lesson covering microscopes, magnification and calculating image size. Designed to develop students’ understanding of how microscopes are used to observe cells ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...
