If you find yourself in Virginia's Dulles International Airport through November of this year, you might see the exhibition Life: Magnified on the walls.
Terrifying and beautiful images of the human body and diseases.
Technology evolves in cycles, and although artificial intelligence (AI) has recently overshadowed blockchain and crypto assets in certain discussions, the interconnectedness of these domains is becoming increasingly evident. Recent work by the Coinbase Institute has highlighted how blockchain and AI can synergize effectively. Another pertinent example, albeit controversial since its inception and recently magnified by […]

Imagine looking closer at an insignificant grain of sand. As you do, you'll discover that it has been magnified 300 times, revealing an incredible universe hidden inside its tiny size.
Under a scanning electron microscope, the plants that populate our world look more like alien planets.
Als Muskelfaser, auch Muskelfaserzelle oder Myozyt, bezeichnet man die spindelförmige zelluläre Grundeinheit der Muskulatur des Skeletts. Die Muskelzellen der glatten Muskulatur sind keine Muskelfasern. Die Herzmuskelzellen werden gelegentlich auch als Herzmuskelfasern bezeichnet, sie unterscheiden sich jedoch im Aufbau von den Skelettmuskelfasern.[1]

Everyday objects in close-up: items brought to life at a MILLION times magnification
This is a cross section of the stem of the plant commonly known as goosegrass or sticky Jack and more scientifically as Galium aparine. Sticky Jack is a very common weed that scrambles up through other vegetation using its covering of hooked hairs on the stem and leaves and which sticks to clothing with these when kids throw handfuls of the stuff at each other. This image was produced using fluorescence microscopy, staining the cells with compounds that bind to the cell walls and fluoresce. The blue cells have walls made of cellulose and their blue fluorescence is due to the calcofluor that they've been stained with, which fluoresces blue in ultraviolet light. Calcofluor has been used as a 'blue whitener' in washing powders - it binds to the cellulose in cotton fabrics and fluoresces faintly blue in the UV component of sunlight. The yellow staining is due to another fluorescent dye (fluorochrome) called auramine O, which binds to cutin in the outer cuticle of the plant, and to dead, lignified cell walls that give the stem its strength - and it fluoresces yellow. The cuticle in this cross section is the thin yellow line covering the outer surface of the section. The yellow circle in the centre is composed of dead, lignified cells - not particularly well developed in goosegrass because it scrambles over surrounding vegetation rather then investing resources in producing a stout lignified stem of its own.

How do magnets work? What is a magnetic field? A magnet is an object that has a magnetic field strong enough to influence other materials. The molecules in a magnet are aligned to all face one way, which gives the magnet its magnetic field. Read on for everything you need to know.
