When an Amazon molly says she doesn't need a man, believe her. Every single one of these small fish, found in freshwater streams in Mexico and Southern Texas, is female, and reproduces exclusively ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell - from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division - scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into ...

Abstract: The advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology offers the opportunity to conduct biological research at the cellular level. Single-cell type identification based on ...

Physically magnifying objects using a key moisture-absorbing ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world. When you slip a slide under a microscope, a system of glass ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...

The robots, each the size of a single cell, casually turn circles in a bath of water. Suddenly, their sensors detect a change: Parts of the bath are heating up. The microrobots halt their twirls and ...

Researchers from Switzerland and Japan have now investigated this virus in minute detail. Using a microscopy technique that they developed themselves, the scientists can zoom in on the surface of ...

Optical metasurfaces, with their ultra-thin and lightweight properties, are driving the miniaturization and planarization of optical systems. However, their development from unit-cell design to system ...

Dear Dr. Roach: I had an eye issue last year that led to blood tests resulting in an elevated A1C. I said that it wasn't my blood; I am plant-based, exercise regularly, and don't drink sodas or ...
