Despite their name, giant viruses are difficult to visualize in detail. They are too big for conventional electron microscopy, yet too small for optical microscopy used to study larger specimen. Now, ...

MISSOULA, Mont. — High school students across Montana are finding previously unknown viruses usingMontana Technological University’s new state-of-the-art scanning/transmission electron microscope. The ...

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 ...

Current calibration methods rely on artificially constructed DNA structures or specific cellular features, each with significant drawbacks. DNA-based rulers require complex chemical synthesis and only ...

The phenomenal new electron microscope (TIME, Dec. 14, 1942) has been taking a good long look at hitherto invisible objects. In the last two issues of the Journal of the American Medical Association, ...

A comparison of experimental annular dark field (ADF)-scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron ptychography in uncorrected and aberration-corrected electron microscopes. In the ...

Human DNA is not always making us function in ways we understand. Some of our genome is just there, and we’re not sure what it does. In fact, 8% of our DNA are viruses our ancestors caught one day and ...
