A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

We’ll understand if you’re puzzled by the eerie image below. It’s a tiny piece of the Lassa virus, which can double a person over in pain, make their head swell and, in some cases, quickly result in ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

The interaction was captured using a specialized piece of kit called a transmission electron microscope. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

A wallet-friendly electron microscope can work out the structures of huge biological molecules on a budget 1. Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) uses an intense beam of electrons to reveal fine ...
