What may be the earliest surviving objects seen by microscope – specimens prepared and viewed by the early Dutch naturalist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek – have been reunited with one of his original microscopes for a state of the art photoshoot. This event allowed science historians to recapture the ‚look‘ of seventeenth century science, recording the moment in digital films and with stunning high-resolution colour photographs for the first time.
and specimen orientation that were possible while using one of Leeuwenhoek’s own hand-held
Researchers use bottom-up synthetic biology to create minimalistic SARS-CoV-2 virions and discover the Spike protein switching mechanism.
On the one hand the virus uses the spike protein to bind to the host cells ACE2 receptors
Open Science addresses concerns about the reliability of scientific research and is gaining traction in various fields. Ugofilippo Basellini’s paper reviews the state of openness in demographic research and finds significant progress in open access, but less so in the availability of open software code. The study emphasizes the importance of sharing software code to advance the field and proposes recommendations to encourage this practice. Basellini advocates for a culture of openness, emphasizing the need for supportive feedback, incentives, and training to encourage code sharing.
On the one hand, the publication of demographic research is becoming more and more
Playing an instrument presents an enormous challenge for our brains. How exactly the brain masters the complex coordination tasks needed to meet that challenge is the subject of two new studies. The first one identified the region of the brain in which a musical idea becomes a finger movement during solo playing. The second one shows that when playing duets, the brains of both musicians must be on the same “wavelength.”
One pianist would play the melody with his or her right hand, while the other performed

Antlions inject a complex venom mixture into its prey, which differs in composition and effectiveness from the venom of related green lacewing larvae and reflects the specific ecology of the species.
On the one hand, this is unusual, as most animals harbor a large number of microorganisms
Deep-sea microbes can break down and form ethane

A biosensor visualizes redistribution dynamics of the plant hormone auxin in living cells
On the one hand, a protein with a high binding affinity to auxin was needed in order
In nerve cells, the hormone regulates whether mitochondria are shut down or kept running
On the one hand, the tight binding to mitochondria allows the PINK1 blueprints to
