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 ...

Protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative disease have stubbornly resisted researchers’ efforts to get a good look at them. They refuse to crystallize well or yield to standard ...

A new momentum microscopy experimental station for photoelectron spectroscopy resolved in 3D momentum space with a microscopic field of view has been built at BL6U of UVSOR *, Institute for Molecular ...

Scientists are reporting the first 3-D images of an individual protein ever obtained with enough clarity to determine its structure. When Gang Ren whirls the controls of his cryo-electron microscope, ...

The high-powered, “game-changing” microscopes use electrons rather than light to visualize the shape of samples at near-atomic resolution. Only recently have they become available to scientists in the ...

Ever since their discovery, quasicrystals have garnered much attention due to their strange structure. Today, they remain far from being well-understood. In a new study, scientists reveal, for the ...

A team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have used Nobel prize-winning microscope technology to see full length serotonin receptors for the first time. The tiny ...

A new high-sensitivity microscope technology has been developed that can measure deep inside nanometer-sized devices. It is expected to solve problems such as internal voids, a major cause of defects ...

Function follows form. To a certain extent, the opposite of this guideline mainly followed by Bauhaus designers applies in biology: the form of a biomolecule determines its function. This has long ...
