The National Science Foundation awarded a $1 million grant to Tech for a multifunctional transmission and scanning electron microscope, around $700,000 of which will go toward the microscope itself.

From medicine to agriculture and aquaculture, bacteriophages are poised to have a huge global impact. As viruses which target only bacterial cells, they hold promise as an alternative to antibiotics, ...

Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

MISSOULA, Mont. — Montana Tech will be able to better explore worlds invisible to the naked eye after the delivery of a $1 million multifunctional transmission electron microscope. It will ...

Researchers who work with bacteriophages -- viruses that eat bacteria -- had a pleasant and potentially very important surprise after treating samples to view under an electron microscope: they had ...

A research team has synthesized a lysin that during in vitro experiments targets bacteria responsible for producing odors in human armpits. Body odor from the armpits comes from bacteria metabolizing ...

In a recent review published in Cell, researchers presented an overview of bacteriophage treatment, including mechanisms, types, design and applications of bacteriophage therapy. Study: Phage therapy: ...

Researchers in the United States and Spain have discovered that an atomic force microscope -- a tool widely used in nanoscale imaging -- works differently in watery environments, a step toward better ...
