UGA scientists engineer root-knot nematode resistance
University of Georgia professor Richard Hussey has spent 20 years studying a worm-shaped parasite too small to see without a microscope. view more (2006-09-27)
Rush Researchers Explore Use of Nanotechnology as Diagnostic and Screening Tool for Women's Health
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing the way things are constructed - from stain resistant clothing to stronger, yet lighter tennis rackets. view more (2006-08-15)
New light microscope sharpens scientists' focus
A new light microscope so powerful that it allows scientists peering inside cells to discern the precise location of nearly each individual protein they are studying has been developed and successfully demonstrated by scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus in collaboration with researchers at the National... view more...

Geologists use biotools to understand geosystems
Geologists are now becoming microbiologists in order to discover how biosystems affect geosystems. view more (2005-10-12)
Significantly higher success rates with artificial insemination
In future a new method could help some couples who are childless against their will. The microscopic procedure significantly improves the success rate of 'ICSI' (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). view more (2008-02-07)
Virtual biopsy could make smear tests obsolete
Standard screening techniques involve removing small pieces of tissue - a biopsy - and examining them under a microscope. "This is traumatic, time-consuming and expensive," says Smallwood, "so we wondered if we could make a non-traumatic measurement that would tell us what the cells were doing." It turns out that they can, by measuring an... view more... (1999-04-21)
Discovery to aid study of biological structures, molecules
Researchers in the United States and Spain have discovered that a tool widely used in nanoscale imaging works differently in watery environments, a step toward better using the instrument to study biological molecules and structures. view more (2009-08-12)
Where Broken DNA is Repaired
Ionizing radiation, toxic chemicals, and other agents continually damage the body's DNA, threatening life and health: unrepaired DNA can lead to mutations, which in turn can lead to diseases like cancer. view more (2007-08-03)
Innovative movies show real-time immune-cell activity within tumors
Using advanced new microscopy techniques in concert with sophisticated transgenic technologies, scientists at The Wistar Institute have for the first time created three-dimensional, time-lapse movies showing immune cells targeting cancer cells in live tumor tissues. view more (2006-11-21)
WUSTL research finds individual cells isolated from the biological clock can keep daily time, but are unreliable
Alexis Webb enters a small room at Washington University in St. Louis with walls, floor and ceiling painted dark green, shuts the door, turns off the lights and bends over a microscope in a black box draped with black cloth. Through the microscope, she can see a single nerve cell on a glass cover slip glowing dimly. view more (2009-09-10)
Invisible for Electrons
As thin as it gets: the carbon membranes recently created by Max Planck scientists are only one atom thick. For electrons, such membranes are almost completely transparent-using an electron microscope, scientists may thus be able to examine absorbed individual molecules on the membranes, and image the atomic structure of complex biological... view more...

Debut of TEAM 0.5, the World's Best Microscope
TEAM 0.5, the world's most powerful transmission electron microscope - capable of producing images with half‑angstrom resolution (half a ten-billionth of a meter), less than the diameter of a single hydrogen atom - has been installed at the Department of Energy's National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) at Lawrence Berkeley... view more...

New nanosensor uses quantum dots to detect DNA
Using tiny semiconductor crystals, biological probes and a laser, Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a new method of finding specific sequences of DNA by making them light up beneath a microscope. view more (2005-12-06)
How nonstick bugs evade natural fly paper
There are few things more irritating than a fly buzzing around the house. South Africans have an unconventional solution to the problem. view more (2008-08-11)
Scientists get first look at nanotubes inside living animals
Rice University scientists have captured the first optical images of carbon nanotubes inside a living organism. Using fruit flies, the researchers confirmed that a technique developed at Rice -- near-infrared fluorescent imaging -- was capable of detecting DNA-sized nanotubes inside living fruit flies. view more (2007-09-25)
Water, water, everywhere - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
Over half our planet is covered in water, and life cannot exist without it. But despite how common and important it is, surprisingly little is known about the structure of water, especially when it is next to other materials. A detailed understanding of how water behaves would not only reveal how biomolecules assemble or function - and possibly... view more... (2002-03-26)
Automated microfluidic device reduces time to screen small organisms for genetic studies
Genetic studies on small organisms such as worms and flies can now be done more quickly using a new microfluidic device developed by engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. view more (2008-06-24)
Extra-large 'atoms' allow Penn physicists to solve the riddle of why things melt
Physicists at the University of Pennsylvania have experimentally discovered a fundamental principal about how solid materials melt. Their studies have shown explicitly that melting begins at defects within the crystalline structure of solid matter, beginning along the cracks, grain boundaries and dislocations that are present in the otherwise... view more...

Mayo Clinic physicians estimate new, tiny, super-sensitive probe could cut colon polyp removal in half
Based on results of a landmark study, researchers at Mayo Clinic's Florida campus see a future in which virtual biopsies will eliminate the need to remove colon polyps that are not cancerous or will not morph into the disease. view more (2008-10-08)
A clearer view on biology
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] has developed a new computational tool that makes images obtained with cutting-edge microscopes even sharper. view more (2007-03-06)
