Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

Researchers from Durham University and Jagiellonian University have created DNA-origami-constrained nanodisks to capture and position fragile membrane proteins with exceptional precision. The ...

Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new ...

The motion of whizzing electrons has been captured like never before. Researchers have developed a laser-based microscope that snaps images at attosecond — or a billionth of a billionth of a second — ...
