A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

Researchers in Korea have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that predicts molecular properties by learning ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter particles called electrons that you can think of as orbiting around the ...

Unlike macroscopic or even nanoscale structures, where defects, impurities, and thermal effects complicate measurements, the silver atom chain offers a near-ideal system for studying pure ...

A water molecule contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, and both their thermal motion and the quantum nature of their nuclei play a key role. Accounting for these aspects, the researchers ...

As electron microscopy technologies have improved and scientists have a greater knowledge of how to manipulate specific atom types, the complexity of the measurements, imaging and manipulation with ...
