Unexpected microscopic discoveries

Everyday materials reveal surprising textures and patterns when magnified, turning simple findings into fascinating microscopic discoveries that challenge what we think we know about the small things ...
Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their ...
Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...
In this video I turn my classroom into a mini science lab with a messy, foam-filled experiment and a three round game of What ...
That doesn’t make the effort futile. It places it in context. Bio-based foams represent one strategy among many: redesign packaging, reduce unnecessary cushioning, regulate the worst offenders, and ...
A pore smaller than one nanometer reads peptide sequences amino acid by amino acid, pinpointing single-site Alzheimer's ...
As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...
