We’ll understand if you’re puzzled by the eerie image below. It’s a tiny piece of the Lassa virus, which can double a person over in pain, make their head swell and, in some cases, quickly result in ...

Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen. Now, ...

The data revealed 82 specific locations (or loci) in the human genome associated with viral DNA load, especially in the Major ...

UCLA researchers report in the April 30 edition of the journal Cell that they have imaged a virus structure at a resolution high enough to effectively "see" atoms, the first published instance of ...

Researchers have used advanced electron microscopy (EM) technology to see how human viruses move in high resolution in a near-native environment. The visualization technique could lead to improved ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that utilizes a beam of accelerated electrons to visualize and analyze the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

For the past 22 months we’ve seen coronavirus images everywhere, but researchers in Spain have now found that the choice of image determines how we think about the information that’s being presented.

Some tiny viruses, called deltaviruses, can only spread by relying on other viruses. A study published in Cell shows that ...
