New research suggests that dinosaurs may help scientists make important discoveries about cancer. By using new technology to ...

New research from the Sainsbury Laboratory at the University of Cambridge has shed light on how plants precisely control ...

On the flip side, solids can crack, so solid electrolytes are inhospitable to volume changes or higher stress. This causes a ...

Thick multicellular plant ... range of plant cell types. New imaging modalities in conjunction with advances in sample preparation can pave the way for unprecedented insights into the structural ...

When two organisms live together so closely that they merge into a functional unit, this is known as symbiosis. In the "1+1=1" project, an international, interdisciplinary research team is ...

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a microscope for the several hours needed for them to build walls. Plant cells ...

The image sequences provide new insights into how this cell structure forms, which could lead to innovations in plant-derived products ... the team used a special microscope that minimized cells ...

The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a valuable tool for understanding ... They can also be used to examine the morphology of a sample, such as the shape of cells, powders, measure thicknesses of ...

They then monitored the health and growth of cell structures using multiple imaging methods such as electron, confocal, and superresolution microscopy ... paths in non-plant organisms such ...

Cryo-ET uses electron microscopes to study flash-frozen samples, like cells. Combining the two techniques immediately raised problems the researchers needed to overcome. The first was that cells ...

In the 17th century, light microscopy first revealed the existence of cells. In the 20th century, electron microscopy offered even greater detail, revealing the elaborate structures within cells ...
