Bringing out the color in zinc to expand its potential properties

Zinc is an important element that is found widely in biological systems, is cheap to manufacture relative to other metals, and has low toxicity. However, unlike other similar metals that exhibit a variety of vibrant colors ...

Examining how cells talk to each other

Like us, cells communicate. Well, in their own special way. Using waves as their common language, cells tell one another where and when to move. They talk, they share information, and they work together—much like the interdisciplinary ...

WildDISCO: Visualizing whole bodies in unprecedented detail

Researchers developed a new method called wildDISCO that uses standard antibodies to map the entire body of an animal using fluorescent markers. This revolutionary technique provides detailed 3D maps of structures, shedding ...

Radiation build-up and dissipation in Raman random fiber laser

Raman random fiber lasers (RRFL) have attractive features, such as their simple structure, excellent wavelength-tunability and high optical-optical conversion efficiency. They show great potential for long-distance fiber ...

Researchers construct most complex, complete synthetic microbiome

Key studies in the last decade have shown that the gut microbiome, the collection of hundreds of bacterial species that live in the human digestive system, influences neural development, response to cancer immunotherapies, ...
