The film explores the vital role of microorganisms in soil, highlighting that soil is teeming with microscopic plants and animals that are essential for plant growth and the overall balance of life on ...

Researchers have developed a new way to observe and track large numbers of rapidly moving objects under a microscope, capturing precise motion paths in three dimensions. Over the course of their study ...

Most animals require brains to run, jump or hop. The single-celled protozoan Euplotes eurystomus, however, achieves a scurrying walk using a simple, mechanical computer to coordinate its microscopic ...

This image shows the volume renderings at eight consecutive time points of a single specimen of the protozoan T. thermophila taken from a 4-D data set spanning 1250 time points. This material relates ...

Researchers have known for some time that a long, fibrous coil grown by a single-cell protozoan is, gram for gram, more powerful than a car engine. Now, researchers at Whitehead Institute -- together ...

Loxophyllum is a predatory protozoan. These single-celled organisms are ciliates, being covered in hair-like structures known as cilia. The cilia beat in synchronized waves, propelling the organism ...

In the 1670s, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek pioneered the use of light microscopes to magnify tiny living objects and, in the process, discovered an entire world invisible to the naked eye. His many ...

Scientists at ARUP Laboratories have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that detects intestinal parasites in ...

Boy, here is a pleasant surprise – a commercial site hidden rather invisibly beneath a collection of a lot of cool images and videos. How often does that happen? Certainly not often enough in my book.
