Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

When all you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when you’ve got a scanning electron microscope, everything must look like a sample that would be really, really interesting ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

The diagram below shows the same plant cell, as viewed with the light microscope, and with the transmission electron microscope. Animal and plant cells have certain structures in common.

Researchers at the Center for Life Sciences at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have for the first time identified structural ...

Integrating the nanoflowers into a wound dressing helps to fight harmful bacteria while keeping healthy human cells intact.

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.
