Inside rocks, implications for finding life on Mars
If a future space mission to Mars brings rocks back to Earth, Schopf said the techniques he has used, called confocal laser scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, could enable scientists to look at microscopic fossils inside the rocks to search for signs of life, such as organic cell walls. view more (2006-02-01)
Microscopic brain imaging in the palm of your hand
Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated a promising, minimally invasive optical technique that can capture micron-scale images from deep in the brains of live subjects. view more (2005-08-25)
Scientists discover new life forms in the Arctic Ocean
An international team of scientists including Université Laval biologist Connie Lovejoy has discovered new life forms in the Arctic Ocean. The team's findings are reported in the January 12 edition of the journal Science. view more (2007-01-12)
New technique sees into tissue at greater depth, resolution
By coupling a kicked-up version of microscopy with miniscule particles of gold, Duke University scientists are now able to peer so deep into living tissue that they can see molecules interacting. view more (2008-09-18)
Researchers demonstrate single molecule absorption spectroscopy
A powerful new tool for probing molecular structure on surfaces has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. view more (2005-12-21)
Scientists directly view immune cells interacting to avert autoimmunity
Using a new form of microscopy to penetrate living lymph nodes, UCSF scientists have for the first time viewed immune cells at work, helping clarify how T cells control autoimmunity. view more (2005-12-05)
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...

Research unveils new, reliable approach to drug delivery for cancer patients
Prostate, breast and other cancer patients may be offered a new, stauncher targeted drug delivery system to treat their diseases in the next decade. view more (2005-11-02)
Biologists visualize protein interaction that may initiate viral infection
Biologists at Purdue University have taken a "snapshot" of a Velcro-like protein on a cell's surface just after it attached to the dengue virus, a linkup thought to initiate the early stages of infection. view more (2006-02-10)
Embryo fossils reveal animal complexity 10 million years before Cambrian Explosion
Fossilized embryos predating the Cambrian Explosion by 10 million years provide evidence that early animals had already begun to adopt some of the structures and processes seen in today's embryos, say researchers from Indiana University Bloomington and nine other institutions in this week's Science. view more (2006-10-13)
UCSB researchers discover shape matters to macrophages
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have made a surprising discovery: phagocytosis depends more on particle shape than size. view more (2006-03-22)
Full 3-D image of nanocrystals' interior created by shining X-rays through them
A vital step towards the ultimate goal of being able to take 'photographs' of individual molecules in action has been achieved by an international team led by UCL (University College London) researchers at the London Centre for Nanotechnology. view more (2006-07-06)
Nanoscale microscope sheds first light on gene repair
Proteins called H2AX act as "first aid" to DNA, among other roles. For the first time, scientists using the world's most powerful light microscope (the only one of its kind in the Americas) have seen how H2AX is distributed in the cell nucleus: in clusters, directing the first aid/repair after DNA injuries to the region where it is... view more...

New light microscope may help unlock some of cells' secrets
A microscopy technique pioneered with the help of Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory has led to the development of a new light microscope capable of looking at proteins on a molecular level. view more (2006-08-17)
Image of myosin-actin interaction revealed in cover story of Molecular Cell
Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the University of Vermont have captured the first 3-dimensional (3D) atomic-resolution images of the motor protein myosin V as it "walks" along other proteins, revealing new structural insights that advance the current model of protein motility and muscle contraction. view more (2005-09-30)
Uranium 'pearls' before slime
Since the discovery a little more than a decade ago of bacteria that chemically modify and neutralize toxic metals without apparent harm to themselves, scientists have wondered how on earth these microbes do it. view more (2006-08-08)
Diamond by-product of hydrogen production and storage method
There may not be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but there appears to be nanocrystalline diamonds at the end of a process to produce and store hydrogen using anthracite coal. view more (2006-06-26)
From biological imaging to Sudoku solutions
Cornell physicist Veit Elser has been engrossed recently in resolving a pivotal question in biological imaging. So he hasn't had much time for brainteasers and number games. view more (2006-03-06)
Spiders Help Scientists Discover How Muscles Relax
Using muscle tissue from tarantulas, an HHMI international research scholar and his colleagues have figured out the detailed structure and arrangement of the miniature molecular motors that control movement. view more (2005-08-25)
Discovery could lead to new types of Alzheimer's drugs
A ground-breaking new research approach to understanding the cellular processes of Alzheimer's and other degenerative diseases has revealed a promising pathway to the development of new types of drugs for these diseases. view more (2005-07-12)
