Males of the species Drosophila melanogaster pack thousands of almost two-millimeter-long sperm cells into significantly smaller storage organs. A new study reveals how they move in an orderly manner ...
This is a valuable study and a promising development for the field of open-source microscopy for educational purposes. The strengths include the low cost of constructing the microscope, impressive ...
Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. In this work, we discover a dramatic enhancement to thermal ...
As smartphones become more ubiquitous in society, they are being used in plenty of ways not imaginable even ten or fifteen years ago. Using its sensors to gather LIDAR information, its GPS to get ...
The past decade has witnessed a significant increase in the number of radiopharmaceuticals approved for diagnostic and therapeutic use in humans. To receive such approval, these radiopharmaceuticals ...
A determined group of undergraduate students has designed a plate reader—an instrument for measuring the light absorption and fluorescence signals within microwell plates used ubiquitously for ...
As primary producers, phytoplankton play an integral role in global biogeochemical cycles through their production of oxygen and fixation of carbon. They also provide significant ecosystem services, ...
This module is based on the work by the Huser-Lab and can be found as a preprint on Bioarxiv [1]. It uses a low-cost single-mode diode laser (532 nm) and a Raspberry Pi driven DMD module to generate a ...
Royal-Blue (448 nm) Rebel LED 1 Luxeon Star SP-01-V4 Blue (470 nm) Rebel LED 1 Luxeon Star SP-01-B6 Having longitudinal data also allowed us to assess whether mouse performance differed in the day or ...
In the last two decades, intravital multiphoton microscopy has become one of the central tools in basic and preclinical biological research. It allows for the investigation of dynamic cellular ...
In the rural parts of Uganda, lab technicians spend hours each day on thankless and seemingly unceasing work. The most common tests they run are for malaria. A technician smears a blood sample on a ...
