Researchers have developed a revolutionary microscope that uses an incredibly powerful laser to make previously invisible ...

EPFL scientists have made an important discovery about the structure of barium titanate, a material used in everyday objects. Their findings refute existing theories on the displacement of the ...

When Gang Ren whirls the controls of his cryo-electron microscope, he compares it to fine-tuning the gearshift and brakes of a racing bicycle. But this machine at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s ...

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 ...

A close-up microscopic look revealing the hidden structure inside a drumstick, showing details you never notice when cooking.

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 ...

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 ...

Key points of this article The difference between McArthur and Nippon Kogaku can be understood as the question of who ...

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 ...

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, ...
