A stretchy, conductive type of plastic could help power the next generation of implantable biomedical devices, like longer-lasting pacemakers or glucose monitors, according to Enrique Gomez, professor ...

Few standard optical microscopy methods can achieve the same level of spatial resolution, which is essential for being able to resolve geometric and structural features on the nanometer length scale.

Since statins first came to market in the late 1980s, muscle aches, weakness, and fatigue have driven many patients to ...

Structure-based designs facilitate drug discovery, and cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is an increasingly important tool to determine high-resolution structures of proteins and protein ...

What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy? Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to determine the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules, such as proteins and ...

In biology, getting rid of stuff can be just as important as making it. A buildup of cells, proteins, or other molecules that are no longer needed can cause problems, so living things have evolved ...

In order to expand access to cutting-edge research technology, the University of California, Santa Cruz, is welcoming institutions in the United States and abroad to use its powerful ...

Using technologies like electron microscopy (EM) it is possible to capture molecular mechanisms in great detail, but not when these mechanisms are currently moving. The field of cryomicroscopy ...
