The ability of single particle cryo-electron microscopy to capture structural information on samples that could not be crystallized for use with crystallographic methods or were too delicate for ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I ...

Researchers performing cryo-EM experiments can acquire the training to make their own cryo-EM and negative-stain grids, and collect and process their own high-resolution data. We also offer sample ...

By comparing the measured electron energy spectra with particle-tracking simulations, we infer a maximum energy gain of 0.915 kilo–electron volts over 30 micrometers, corresponding to an acceleration ...

By the late 1800s, the scientific world was buzzing with questions about electricity and light. Several researchers were ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this ...

In physics, there are very different types of particles: Elementary particles are the fundamental building blocks of matter. Other particles, such as atoms, are bound states consisting of several ...

Collaborative experiments focus on uncovering the unusual properties of the ghost particle. In a recent study, physicists have created the clearest and most detailed view so far of how neutrinos shift ...

The universe is a big place, but it's made out of small pieces. The periodic table includes elements such as oxygen, carbon and other building blocks that make up stars, cats or cups of coffee. But ...

What is single particle cryo-EM? Single particle cryo-EM involves using electron microscopy to take up to millions of images of a biological sample using low-dose radiation. Cryo-EM has been in use ...
