The tiny pantheon known as the Asgard archaea bear traits that hint at how plants, animals and fungi emerged on Earth.

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, ...

Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are collaborating with researchers at UT San Antonio to study how space ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase ...

Understanding optical resolution is key in microscopy, highlighting the diffraction limit and innovations in super-resolution ...

When the resolution is worse than 3 Å, ligands may still be visible, but the process of modeling becomes considerably more time-consuming and error-prone,” he said. “This underscores the need for ...

Using advanced electron microscopy, researchers have watched individual atoms transition from chaotic liquid motion to ordered solid structure, revealing that the boundary between liquid and solid ...

A new study explains how cholesterol-lowering medications can lead to muscle damage and identifies a possible approach to making these treatments safer. Statins have dramatically improved cardiovascul ...

Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual ...

Using a microscopy technique that they developed themselves, the scientists can zoom in on the surface of human cells in a ...
