Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

Microscope Images of the bacteria P. acnes left untreated (A,B) or incubated for 24-hours (C,D) with resveratrol. Images were taken at 10,000x magnification (A,C) or 29,000x magnification (B,D).

Researchers have found that applying deep learning to electron microscope images can distinguish drug-resistant bacteria from non-resistant bacteria with high accuracy. This new approach could lead to ...

On sunken leaves in the waters of a Caribbean mangrove swamp, researchers discovered a bacterium that challenges the prevailing view of bacterial cell size; counter to the notion that microbes are ...

Researchers found bacterial cells so large they are easily visible to the naked eye, challenging ideas about how large microbes can get. By Carl Zimmer In a Caribbean mangrove forest, scientists have ...

That is one big bacterium! Researchers have discovered a bacterium visible to the naked eye, challenging prevailing notions about the size of bacteria, most of which only can be seen when using a ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...
