University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells ...

Excitons have been created by injecting an electron into a molecule, and then removing another one, in rapid succession.

A newly discovered cell helps pythons digest entire skeletons—and might be present in other bone-eating predators, too.

Researchers used advanced microscopy to uncover important protein structures. For the first time, two important protein ...
