This story originally featured on Popular Science. A journey that began nearly a century ago, when scientists invented the first electron microscope, has taken yet another step. “This is the ...

A game-changing technique for imaging molecules known as cryo-electron microscopy has produced its sharpest pictures that for first-time can see individual atoms in a protein. By achieving atomic ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) reached single-atom resolution for 3D structure determination of biological macromolecules. Cryo-EM has been determining the structures of protein structures for ...

Scientists at the University of Glasgow have acquired a world-leading electron microscope which will allow them to scrutinise individual atoms and probe their chemical, magnetic and electronic ...

A team of Cornell University engineers developed a new microscopy technique that’s powerful enough to spot an individual atom in three dimensions — and create an image so clear that the only ...

Physicists at the University of Regensburg have found a way to manipulate the quantum state of individual electrons using a microscope with atomic resolution. The results of the study have now been ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Using the latest in aberration-corrected electron microscopy, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and their colleagues have obtained the first images that ...

A founding principle of structural biology is that, once researchers can directly observe macromolecules in enough detail, it should be possible to understand how their 3D structures confer their ...

The highest-resolution image of atoms so far has been captured, breaking a record set in 2018. David Muller at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and his colleagues captured this image using a ...
