Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which ...

Sourdough under the microscope reveals microbes cultivated over generations "There can be more than 20 different species of yeast and 50 different species of bacteria in a sourdough starter" ...

Next, what’s known as an optical gating pulse initiates, allowing an infinitesimal timeframe for a one-attosecond electron pulse to then emit from the microscope.

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave.

S. pombe, pictured in an electron microscope image, is a type of yeast used for centuries to brew beer. It’s also an invaluable research tool for scientists because of its similarity to human cells.

Scientists are conducting a long-term experiment on evolution to investigate how single-celled organisms could evolve into multicellular lifeforms. After thousands of generations, their yeast grew ...

A 10-foot microscope reveals big lessons about the tiniest threats to the human body A technological revolution is helping Scripps Research scientists see the molecules that undermine human health ...
