(Nanowerk News) National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have developed a computational imaging technique to extract three-dimensional (3D) information from a single two-dimensional (2D) ...

This transmission electron micrograph shows Mimivirus particles within a cell of the amoeba Acanthamoeba polyphaga. New viral particles form within the viral factory. MV: Mimivirus virions; N: nucleus ...

Each of us has enough DNA to reach from here to the sun and back, more than 300 times. How is all of that DNA packaged so tightly into chromosomes and squeezed into a tiny nucleus? Long, slender DNA ...

A new technique developed by an Oxford University-led team enables graphene to be grown without the defects that weaken it and prevent electrons from flowing freely within it. This optical micrograph ...

Colorized scanning electron micrograph of cells heavily infected with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus particles (orange). The inset is an artist’s rendition of a single virus with its spike proteins — the ...
