A new microscope method reveals details that were difficult to see before, helping researchers study proteins, cells, and ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

There’s an old joke that you can’t trust atoms — they make up everything. But until fairly recently, there was no real way to see individual atoms. You could infer things about them using X-ray ...

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 ...

Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley physicists' new technique offers detailed images of the small molecules and cell structures that ...

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 ...
