Research led by scientists at Washington State University has revealed insights on how plants form a microscopic landscape of proteins crucial to photosynthesis, the basis of Earth's food and energy ...

Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

This review outlines the potential of smart microscopy to transform biological imaging through adaptive systems that optimize ...

Under the microscope, plankton becomes an unlikely star as artist Jess Holz documents their movements to highlight both their ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Danforth Center scientists Tessa Burch-Smith and Kirk Czymmek, in collaboration with researchers at the CryoEM Facility at Stanford University, are embarking on a pioneering initiative to develop new ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

Now, adding a twisting laser beam that interacts with these electrons makes things even more complicated. And in that ...

The price of covering a room in the prized pigment was equal to between 50% and 90% of a Roman legionary's annual salary, a ...

Michael Martynowycz, PhD, assistant professor of structural biology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, recently described a new technique for solving protein structures in a rec ...

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 ...

Scientists offer new insight into how the body detects light touch and how disruptions in that process may contribute to sensory disorders.
