In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

A light microscopy image shows the marine algae Braarudosphaera bigelowii, which is a potentially large evolutionary step. This algae absorbed a bacterium called UCYN-A and formed a new organelle ...

A breakthrough live-cell sensor makes DNA repair visible as it happens, unlocking new possibilities in biology and medicine.

Most forms of life cannot survive extreme environmental conditions, like excessive temperatures. Likewise, the significant majority of species on our planet have a set lifespan and cannot exist past a ...

Why live in a glass house? For diatoms — tiny ocean-dwelling organisms that live in exquisitely ornate glass cases — the benefit turns out to be enormous. In a paper published in the Sept. 13 issue of ...

A flash of bright orange on a rocky outcrop might not look like much, but for paleontologists it could be a beacon pointing ...

Researchers have developed a high-speed 3D imaging microscope that can capture detailed cell dynamics of an entire small whole organism at once. The ability to image 3D changes in real time over a ...
