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 ...
An inverted microscope is an optical microscope that positions the objective lens below the sample stage, characterized by a structure that allows for the observation of cells, tissues, and liquid ...
Scientists have devised a 3D-printed optical microscope that can detect individual molecules and image biological samples with ultrahigh resolution 1. State-of-the-art microscopes provide impressive ...
A close-up microscopic look revealing the hidden structure inside a drumstick, showing details you never notice when cooking.
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 ...
In a study published today in Science, UT Southwestern and Rockefeller University researchers used advanced microscopes to determine at atomic resolution the structure of a molecular complex ...
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, ...
