This hugely-increased capacity means the scientists, led by Professor Lin Li and Dr Zengbo Wang, could potentially examine the inside of human cells, and examine live viruses for the first time to ...

Until recently the electron microscope could make these small organisms visible only if they were isolated. Now an ingenious technique of preparation reveals them in their natural habitat ...

A new study finds that the Sudan virus, a deadly Ebola relative, binds to human NPC1 receptors with nine times greater ...

Electron microscopy revealed that a deadly disease of birds was not a form of flu, but a different type of virus entirely. Ashley started at The Scientist in 2018. Before joining the staff, she worked ...

The researchers developed a straightforward preparation method that causes about 65% of T4 viruses to stand upright on microscope slides, making measurements more consistent. The imaging revealed both ...

The scanning electron ... a light microscope, and can produce images of up to 500,000 times greater magnification. The SEM can generate precise images of organisms as tiny as viruses and ...

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells. Currently, no ...

All live poultry markets in New York City and some of its suburbs were ordered Friday to close for a week after the detection ...
