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 ...

Scientists are combining an electron microscope with a quantum computer to squeeze far more information from each electron. The approach could reveal faint details with fewer electrons, helping ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has become a powerful tool for determining the structures of proteins, viruses and ...

Proteins are high-performance molecular machines that carry out nearly every biochemical function inside living cells. To ...

The way two mpox virus proteins change shape as they bind together acts like a switch that starts the process of viral ...
