A newly developed imaging technique has enabled scientists to map microscopic fiber networks in the brain, muscles, and bones ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

Scientists tend to describe DNA as a long string. But this metaphor fails to accurately describe the complex three-dimensional structure that DNA adopts within our cells. In truth, our DNA could more ...

Changing the structure of a dietary fiber commonly found in a range of food products has been found to promote healthy gut bacteria and reduce gas formation, a finding that could help people with ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the complex network of proteins and sugars that provides structural and biochemical support for surrounding cells in the human body. This dynamic ...

A professor in Virginia Tech's College of Science wants to power planes and cars using energy stored in their exterior shells. He may have discovered a path toward that vision using porous carbon ...

Carbon fiber is known for being incredibly strong, lightweight, and versatile—but how is it actually made? This article breaks down the key stages of carbon fiber ...
