Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...

Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes, which enables scientists to use them to study disease. The trouble is ...

The finding helps researchers better understand and potentially support the ability of cells to stop the spread of pathogens without going overboard ...

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published in ...

Every year, thousands of people are blinded suddenly, like Durst, by injuries to their cornea, the dome-shaped lenses that cap each iris. These injuries are often debilitating. In the weeks after his ...

Disease research has always been about understanding tiny pieces of life. Scientists study how cells behave when sickness ...

A tiny piece of moss helped expose a cemetery scandal in Illinois, where workers allegedly dug up graves and resold burial plots. By identifying the moss and analyzing its chlorophyll to estimate its ...

The FDA has indexed Faunamor, an antiparasitic and antimicrobial treatment for white spot disease (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis) in ornamental finfish, making the drug legally available in the United ...

It infects nearly one-third of the global population, yet its microscopic size makes the parasite difficult for scientists to study. That parasite is Toxoplasma gondii, a widespread organism that ...

Why Bone Fractures Are Increasing. You likely have, at the very least, known someone who has broken a bone in their lifetime. While these experiences can range from childhood acci ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell ...
