The meteoric rise of cryo-electron microscopy from an obscure imaging technique to a powerhouse for determining biomolecular structures is transforming our understanding of biology. Our knowledge of ...

Through a novel combination of machine learning and atomic force microscopy, researchers in China have unveiled the molecular ...

When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers developed a €350 smartphone-based microscope that can detect individual molecules. This brings super-resolution, research-grade ...

In a study published in Nature Methods on December 2, a research team led by Profs. Xu Tao and Ji Wei from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a ...

Cells contain various specialized structures - such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes - known as "organelles''. Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Princeton scientists are peering into the smallest corners of matter using an exceptional collection of sophisticated microscopes — some so big they fill a room. These remarkable instruments have ...

The interactions in photovoltaic materials that convert light into electricity happens in femtoseconds. How fast is that? One femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second­­. To put that in perspective, ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the ...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how type 2 diabetes directly reshapes the human heart, altering both its energy production and physical structure.
