Electron microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that utilizes a beam of accelerated electrons to visualize and analyze the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the nanoscale.

At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to see — onto a ...

Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) play a crucial role in cells as the only source of the building blocks needed for DNA replication and repair. They use radical-based chemistry to catalyze the ...

The dehydration of rat optic nerve has been studied by allowing specimens to become partially or fully dried before fixation and preparation for electron microscopy. A correlation is established ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Skin fossils from a sauropod dinosaur examined with an electron microscope feature structures called melanosomes, which are ...

Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) is an approach that allows the observation of hydrated biological specimens in their native environment at cryogenic temperatures in transmission electron microscopy ...

Electron microscopy plays a critical role in battery research by providing high-resolution insights into material structures.

Findings UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that ...

Transmission electron microscopes are widely used in both physical and biological sciences for structural analyses, involving the projection of 3D objects into 2D images. The increasing need for 3D ...
