Tardigrades. Water bears. Moss piglets. No matter their name, the microscopic invertebrates are notoriously tough, and now, a team of researchers studied the tardigrade’s ancestors to figure out how ...
A baby tardigrade riding a nematode won $600 in Nikon's Small World in Motion Video Competition. Quinten Geldhof captured the video using a microscope and an iPhone. His setup cost under $1,000. The ...
The winners of a microscopic video competition have been announced, and among the remarkable entries is an incredible clip of a tiny tardigrade riding a roundworm. The Nikon Small World in Motion ...
From a baby tardigrade riding a nematode, to water droplets evaporating from the wing scales of a peacock butterfly, the winners of this year's Nikon Small World In Motion video microscopy competition ...
NASA recently gave University of Wyoming professor Thomas Boothby a nearly $100,000 grant to study the long-term effects of radiation on tardigrades and nematode worms to help better prepare ...
• Tardigrades are hardy enough to survive large asteroid impacts and even supernova blasts. • Water bears have survived all five mass extinctions on Earth since they first evolved about half a billion ...

A newly discovered species of tardigrade that glows blue when exposed to ultraviolet light uses the powers of fluorescence as a protective shield, according to new research. Tardigrades, nicknamed ...
Scientists have discovered another reason why tardigrades are one of the toughest creatures on Earth—a special glow-in-the-dark shield that protects them from deadly radiation. Tardigrades are a large ...
Animals as small and soft as tardigrades seldom have legs and almost never bother walking. But a new study finds that water bears propel themselves through sediment and soil on eight stubby legs, in a ...
