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, ...

Hantaviruses, transmitted from rodents to people, have a death rate approaching 40%. They're found around the world, and ...

Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...

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 ...

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 ...

TSUKUBA, Ibaraki -- A research team led by the Tokyo University of Science and the National Institutes of Natural Sciences ...

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 ...

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.
