Bone has finally given up one of its deepest secrets. Electron microscopy has revealed precisely how bone mineral organizes at the nanoscale, a discovery that could help scientists better understand ...

To see what University of York materials scientist Roland Kröger and his colleagues recently saw in their laboratory, you would have to take an incredibly close look at a human bone—closer in than at ...

In biology and palaeontology (the study of extinct organisms) there are a few ways to estimate the age of an animal’s skeleton. One is the extent of fusion of sutures in the skeleton – how much the ...

Polish researchers have developed microscopic “nanoflowers” that can carry antibiotics directly to infected bone, a step that could improve treatment of severe bone infections.
