Scientists have studied a new target for antibiotics in the greatest detail yet—in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...
In Richard Heydarian’s column, (see the ”The age of the unthinkable,” 6/17/25), the author has clearly recognized and analyzed the unthinkable situation in the Philippines and worldwide. In ...
Electron microscopes are some of the most powerful tools in science, allowing us to capture images at a scale so tiny that we can observe individual atoms! Unlike traditional light microscopes ...
Ebola viruses (EBOVs) assemble into filamentous virions, whose shape and stability are determined by the matrix viral protein 40 (VP40). Virus entry into host cells occurs via membrane fusion in late ...
Using cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers mapped how the Sudan virus interacts with the human NPC1 receptor. Their findings revealed that four key amino acid differences in the receptor-binding ...
While the original electron microscope arrived in the early 1930’s (there’s still a controversy to this day over who invented the very first one), scientists have relied on what are known as ...
According to [Asianometry], no one believed in the scanning electron microscope. No one, that is, except [Charles Oatley].The video below tells the whole story. The Cambridge graduate built radios … ...
But the field of electron microscopy must incorporate the latest advances in data science and artificial intelligence to realize its full potential in the years ahead, according to a global research ...
Using Amira and the electron microscopy toolbox (Pruggnaller et al., 2008), points were selected along the central filament axes and radii were measured along the matrix layers. These were then used ...
Electron microscopist Elizabeth Fischer has captured stunning images of the emerging viruses that cause Ebola, MERS, and now COVID-19.
Ebola, SARS, HIV, and many other viruses that have infected humans are of course dangerous and the management of those ... So these viruses, if they’re looked at in a scanning electron microscope (SEM ...
