The fruit of Africa's marble berry (Pollia condensata) is a true living gemstone, sporting a stunning metallic blue sheen ...

Through a recent notice, the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has ...

Human vision feels complete and reliable, yet a growing body of research suggests our eyes and brains are constantly editing reality, hiding some things while revealing others. At the same time, new ...

Microscopic fibers secretly shape how every organ in the body works, yet they’ve been notoriously hard to study—until now. A new imaging technique called ComSLI reveals hidden fiber orientations in ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

The microscopic organisms that fill our bodies, soils, oceans and atmosphere play essential roles in human health and the planet's ecosystems. Yet even with modern DNA sequencing, figuring out what ...

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 ...

A collaborative effort by the Formosa-Jordan lab from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, the Fox lab from Duke University, U.S., and the Roeder lab from Cornell ...

Researchers have introduced an innovative two-step excitation approach that makes it possible to efficiently generate and clearly separate different modes of hyperbolic polaritons. An international co ...

Scientists have revived 24,000-year-old bdelloid rotifer microworms. The rotifers were frozen in permafrost in a long-term cryptobiotic state. Lessons from these and other revived organisms could help ...

The cells of all animals – including humans – are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their environment. This mechanically stable adhesion enables the development ...
