In a stunning feat of microscopy, scientists have been able to produce a video showing a tiny virus circulating around cells prior to infection. "What we find is that the virus will have many ...

The virus is made visible by a fluorescent label attached to it, which the laser excites to make it glow so it can be seen by the microscope. The second microscope takes three-dimensional images ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a microscopic "hand" crafted from DNA, which could significantly impact virus research and prevention. The innovative tool ...

Scientific pioneer June Almeida is finally being acknowledged for virology breakthroughs she made a half century ago. Scientist June Almeida operates an electron microscope in 1963 at the Ontario ...

Scripps Research scientists used a cryo-electron microscope to create this image of a piece of the potentially deadly Lassa virus. (Hailee Perrett, Scripps Research) The “resolution revolution ...

During a call with U.S. doctors this month, one CDC official noted that there is a seasonality to bird flu: Cases peak in the fall and early winter, possibly due to the migration patterns of wild ...

Wrong. The virus is not “microscopic”; if it were, a mask would stop it, as masks stop bacteria. The virus is sub-microscopic, about one one-thousandth the size of mask pores. No one but God ...

When a person has an infection, they may be able to shed many microscopic virus particles. If you ingest just a few of these, the infection can pass to you. Norovirus may cause you to feel ...
