The shape of water. Can it tell us about what drives romance? Among fish, it might. Scientists are now studying how aquatic signals are transported through the water. The shape of water. Can it tell ...

Following years of research and the power of a technologically advanced instrument, scientists have detailed the complex nanoscale exoskeleton patterns of the roundworm, a model laboratory organism, ...

Organisms causing early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) have consistently changed over time. The distribution of organisms in EONS helps to influence the appropriate type of antibiotic prophylaxis ...

Researchers have demonstrated a novel way to inscribe microscopic patterns on living organisms, using the resilient tardigrade as a model. The study, published in Nano Letters, explores a technique ...
