Engineers at Duke University have developed a microscope that adapts its lighting angles, colors and patterns while teaching itself the optimal…
The research result has been published in the journal Optics Letters recently.
Vertebrate, insect, and plant cell lines are important tools for research in many disciplines, including human health, evolutionary and developmental biology,…
The neocortex is the largest area of the human brain. It has expanded and differentiated enormously during mammalian evolution, and is thought to mediate many…
Since these groups are among the most diverse beetles representing nearly half of all living beetle species the authors of the study are convinced that these…
It was the disco clam (Ctenoides ales). And it caught Dougherty's eye for good reason: Even in a coral reef, these tropical bivalves are explosions of color….
Alexander Mühleip from Amunts lab used the single-cell photosynthetic organism Euglena gracilis, which belongs to a phylum that also includes human parasites,…
In the deep sea, far away from the light of the sun, organisms use chemical energy to fix carbon. At hydrothermal vents – where hot, mineral-rich water gushes…

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a low-temperature catalyst for removing NOx gas from industrial exhaust using ammonia. Composed of…
Artificial muscles will power the soft robots and wearable devices of the future. But more needs to be understood about the underlying mechanics of these…
LecB of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterial virulence factor that impairs signaling of growth factor receptors- in other words, proteins found on the surface…
Nearly three-quarters of all clinically relevant antibiotics are natural substances, produced by bacteria. However, the antibiotics that are currently…
The cells in our body are workshops that continuously operate to produce and process substances to keep us going. When a substance enters a cell for…
Toxic substances such as pesticides can cause effects on sensitive individuals in concentrations up to ten thousand times lower than previously assumed. This…
