A stretchy, conductive type of plastic could help power the next generation of implantable biomedical devices, like longer-lasting pacemakers or glucose monitors, according to Enrique Gomez, professor ...

In order to expand access to cutting-edge research technology, the University of California, Santa Cruz, is welcoming institutions in the United States and abroad to use its powerful ...

The cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) field exploded in popularity during the 2010s' "resolution revolution." The 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and ...

A custom-designed electron cryomicroscope operating at 100 keV promises to minimize the expense and complexity of biological structure research. Although electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) has shown ...

Most people have witnessed -- or rather smelled -- when a protein enzyme called sulfite reductase works its magic. This enzyme catalyzes the chemical reduction of sulfite to hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revolutionalized our understanding of the intricate molecular machinery that governs life. It has elucidated the three-dimensional (3D) structure of biological ...

Particles (encircled in green) are spaced at a distance from the noise surrounding the nanobeads (purple), which would otherwise obscure them. Sample loss has been a persistent problem in cryo-EM, a ...
