Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan employed atomic-resolution secondary electron (SE) imaging to examine the atomic structure of the topmost layer of materials, uncovering differences from ...

Santa Cruz, CA — Which came first, nucleic acids or proteins? This question is molecular biology’s version of the “chicken-or-the-egg” riddle. Genes made of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) contain the ...

What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy? Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to determine the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there’s one thing on many people’s minds — ticks. Tick season is starting earlier and lasting longer, ...

A multi-disciplinary team of researchers linked atomic-scale features to efficient heat-to-electricity conversion, offering ...

Cryo-EM has become a core method for visualizing biological macromolecular structures at near-atomic resolution. Yet, current workflows typically require large-scale protein production and extensive ...
