Beauty and mystery—it is hard to imagine a more alluring combination, and this is precisely what we encounter when we observe phenomena in the nanoworld. But are we really sure that observations made ...

Methane-producing microbes use iron-sulfur cofactors as a nanowire to split electron energy through specialized megacomplexes ...

The theoretical prediction, experimental discovery, and validation of the electron spin 100 years ago have provided the scientific foundation toward a fundamental understanding of magnetism. The ...

For delicate samples such as individual proteins, electron microscopy faces a fundamental tradeoff. Producing a clearer image generally requires sending more electrons through the specimen, but ...

Tandem-trapped ion mobility spectrometry can help understand what happens structurally when antibodies and antigens bind.

Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of view, every electron in a conventional electron microscope represents a ...
