Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers illustrated the cryo-electron microscopic (cryo-EM) structure of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the structure of the spike (S) protein of BA.2 sub-variant of the ...

With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...

A new way of imaging frozen biological samples using electron microscopy is providing new glimpses into the nanoscopic world of cells. Images reveal bent in-vitro tubulin microtubules next to and in a ...

Vanadyl hydroxide behaves more like pseudocapacitor than battery when it forms as a star-shaped structure, study finds.

An international team of researchers built a highly sensitive quantum microscope and used it to directly observe, for the ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...

Researchers have built an upgraded quantum microscope that can map momentum-resolved tunneling spectra in graphene at room ...
