While the original electron microscope arrived in the early 1930’s (there’s still a controversy to this day over who invented the very first one), scientists have relied on what are known as ...

This technique allows samples to be frozen at -200°C to trap membranes in their native state, which can then be observed under an electron microscope.

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 ...
