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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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