Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the structure of the spike (S) protein of BA.2 sub-variant of the ...

Unlike the electron beam used in scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), the beam in a focused ion beam system (FIB) is composed of gallium (Ga) ions. The ions forming the structure ...

Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany) ceremonially commissioned a state-of-the-art cryo plasma-FIB scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator ...

STEM operates by focusing a beam of electrons into a narrow probe that is scanned across a thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the sample, they are either scattered or transmitted. The ...

Researchers developed a method to enhance 3D imaging of lithium-ion battery electrodes, improving visualization of internal ...

There are a lot of situations where a research group may turn to an electron microscope to get information about whatever system they might be studying. Assessing the structure of a virus or protein, ...

Attending the RAISe+ Scheme Signing Ceremony are Professor Chen Fu-Rong (2nd left) and his research team members: Professor Hsueh Yu-Chun (1st left), Dr Chen Yan (2nd right) and Mr Chen Yuchi (1st ...

Researchers have used a unique tool inserted into an electron microscope to create a transistor that's 25,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. An international team of researchers have ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of ...
