Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat objects in a single snapshot. This innovation could speed up research and ...

A new ultrasonic test method can acquire high-resolution shale data in the lab by using new geometries for sample testing with specialized equipment suited for measuring shale formations at reservoir ...

Although cryo-electron microscopy is a powerful method for determining the structures of nanoparticles and biological molecules, it still faces challenges. For example, sample movement can cause image ...

X-ray computed micro-tomography typically involves a trade-off between sample size and resolution, complicating the study at a micrometer scale of representative volumes of materials with broad ...

Laser-driven thermoviscous flows provide contact-free rotation, transport or stabilization of delicate samples such as ...

Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) is gaining popularity in biosciences; however, claims about optical resolution are contested and often misleading. In this Viewpoint, experts share their views on ...

Over 50 years ago, the first commercially available SEM was unveiled. Yet, to this day no internationally accepted standard exists for the determination of SEM resolution. Further, to confuse matters ...

16S sequencing is used to detect and examine bacteria according to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene present in prokaryotic organisms. Amplifying and sequencing this gene can help researchers contrast ...
