Futuristic laboratory setting; for the cultivation of algae that emphasizes the focus on sustainability and innovation.

A detailed view of the light-harvesting complex protein; helping to define its role in capturing and converting sunlight into energy for the cell.

The image of two different conformations of phycobilisomes; as seen through cryo-electron microscopy and AI reveals their intricate structure and the changes they undergo in response to their environment.

Bark beetle in heaven; A fungus of Beauveria bassiana parasitizing a dead body of the European bark beetle.

Stowaways: Phoretic mites use the European bark beetle to move from place to place, then resettling on the body of another bark beetle.

Sun in the sun: Testes if the lady beetle Harmonia axyridis.

When sperm comb their hair: Testes if the lady beetle Harmonia axyridis.

The beauty of silk: The silk gland of Tischeria.

“Hitmite”; the mite Dendrolaelaps quadrisetus is an invisible "hitman" brought by the bark beetle to its nest, where the mite feeds on its eggs and helps to control this economically important forest pest.
