A scientist questioned new microplastics findings. Then other researchers fired back.

Over the past year, scientists have searched brain tissue, arteries and even joints for the presence of microplastics. The tiny particles, they have found, are ubiquitous in the human body - littering ...

Tightening the focus of subcellular snapshots: Combined approach yields better cell slices for cryoET imaging

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...
