Camera-free imaging unlocks new cell sorting applications.

In the classroom or the laboratory, a new gel documentation system enables scientists to capture snapshots of their samples in real time.

Drug repurposing uses existing drugs beyond the scope in which they were originally approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

From humble yet ingenious beginnings to Nobel recognition, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) provides insights into scientific questions that other technologies are unable to answer.

Finding an effective antibiotic against an infection can easily take 24 hours. Faster testing could save lives and help doctors avoid broad-spectrum antibiotics, which can foster resistance.

A single approach rarely addresses all research needs. Learn when and how to employ sequencing and PCR-based methods.

Scientists hack the locust brain to identify the unique odor signatures of oral cancers.

CITE-seq draws upon the unbiased nature of single-cell RNA sequencing to gather new insights about protein and gene expression within the same cell.

Free-swimming bacteria settle on a surface to cooperate and form a protective biofilm.

From spatial structuring to policing, cooperative bacteria have a wide toolkit to contain the spread of cheaters.
