Inspired by the remarkable camouflage abilities of octopus and cuttlefish, Stanford researchers have developed a soft material that can rapidly shift its surface texture and color at extremely fine ...

An automated cell culture system reduces hands-on time and improves seeding consistency in 96-well microplates. The research ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

The work, published in the journal Plant Physiology, describes a new system called “Stomata In-Sight.” The technology ...

This breakthrough could guide the breeding of smarter crops, plants that know when to open or close their pores, using water ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

A new leaf imaging system lets scientists watch plant stomata control water loss and carbon uptake in real time.

Scientists have created a new way to watch plants breathe—live and in high definition—while tracking exactly how much carbon ...

For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These ...

Biologists are confronting a problem they thought they had mostly solved: what, exactly, counts as life. A wave of ...

Diabetes doesn’t just coexist with heart disease - it actively reshapes the heart’s machinery and the way it makes energy.
