For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

Researchers have identified a new type of visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae that challenges a century of knowledge about ...

Research on organic solar cells has been conducted for a long time. Recent advancements in understanding their molecular structures are now paving the way for the development of highly efficient solar ...

Intercellular fluid flow, not just cell structure, governs how tissues respond to physical forces by Jennifer Chu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Researchers has revealed the existence of surface concavities on individual crystal grains -- which are the fundamental blocks -- of perovskite thin films, and have unraveled their significant effects ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at converting solar energy into electricity. Their efficiency is approaching ...
