Art and science don't have to be enemies all the time. The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (or FASEB, which is pronounced just like you think it is) asked a bunch of researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health to submit "captivating, high resolution images that represent the cutting edge of 21st century biomedical research." FASEB chose ten winners, which we've got for you in a seizure-inducingly colorful gallery below.

Looking up in the sky tends to generate a lot of questions. You'll likely get why is the sky blue, or how are rainbows made — you know science, so you can knock those out of the park on your own. When the questions start coming about the universe it can get a little more complicated and you might want some help.

It's common for high-end watchmakers to include piezoelectric elements in watches, using your swinging wrist, rather than a battery, to keep it powered. New research hints that future gadgets could include something similar by way of genetically engineered viruses.

Electrons are generally known as "fundamental particles," meaning they're not made up of anything: you can't smash an electron to bits, because there are no bits to smash it into. Under the right circumstances, electrons can be broken up into quasiparticles, and the third one of these has just been identified: the orbiton.
