The possibility of someday recording all the neurons firing in a living creature’s central nervous system has inspired generations of neuroscientists. Now a group of researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute has finally achieved the feat. The scientists studied live zebrafish larvae that had been genetically encoded with a calcium indicator called GCaMP5G. They suspended[...]

Normal shot of a candle (left) versus motion magnified version (right). Forget 3-D and HD. This new kind of video isn’t almost as good as real life; it’s even better. The technique amplifies colors and movements that are invisible to the naked eye. The resulting view is not only enhanced but dynamic. “What we’re doing here is[...]

Clanger or clear wing cicada (Psaltoda claripennis). Image courtesy of Arthur Chapman/Flickr Cicadas don’t use antibacterial wing sanitizer, so how do these insects keep their wings free of bacteria? Hint: it’s structural. The wings of the Clanger cicada kill certain bacteria by ripping their cell membranes. A pattern of pillar-like nanostructures on the wings’ surface put pressure on[...]
