Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, ...

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

When the resolution is worse than 3 Å, ligands may still be visible, but the process of modeling becomes considerably more time-consuming and error-prone,” he said. “This underscores the need for ...

Using advanced electron microscopy, researchers have watched individual atoms transition from chaotic liquid motion to ordered solid structure, revealing that the boundary between liquid and solid ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the ...

Intellicule, a software company whose solutions determine the 3D structures of biomolecules imaged with cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), has received a $217,941 Small Business Innovation ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next ...

Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...

From a dragonfly to marine organisms, photographer Michael Benson zoomed in with powerful scanning electron microscopes to ...

TEM works by accelerating electrons, typically with energies between 80 and 300 kV, and directing them through a specimen thin enough for electron transmission. Because of their very short wavelength ...
