Researchers have captured the first real-time footage of viruses on the move, right before they hijack a cell. When Courtney "CJ" Johnson pulls up footage from her Ph.D. dissertation, it's like she's ...

Scientists are reporting an advance in smartphone-based imaging that could help physicians in far-flung and resource-limited locations monitor how well treatments for infections are working by ...

Scientists have discovered a shocking new way viruses can spread — and it’s faster and deadlier than ever. Meet “Migrions,” a ...

Current calibration methods rely on artificially constructed DNA structures or specific cellular features, each with significant drawbacks. DNA-based rulers require complex chemical synthesis and only ...

a Sketch of the PRISM system, where an all-dielectric photonic crystal (PC) is used as the sample substrate and illuminated by a collimated 633u2009nm HeNe laser beam. Inset: normal-incident ...

Lurking in the vast expanse of the ocean and buried deep in the Siberian permafrost, there are giants—not blue whales and ...

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen. Now, ...

Scientists have discovered that viruses can latch onto other viruses to insert their genes into host cells. Lab results with apparent contamination led the team to directly see the strange interaction ...

In a lab far from the Arctic, a virus that had been locked in ice for tens of thousands of years was coaxed back into activity, proving that some ancient pathogens can endure almost unimaginable ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- When Courtney “CJ” Johnson pulls up footage from her Ph.D. dissertation, it’s like she’s watching an attempted break-in on a home security camera. The intruder cases its target without ...
