Bacteriophages or “phages” is the terms used for viruses that infect bacteria. The UAB researchers, led by Terje Dokland, Ph.D., in collaboration with Asma Hatoum-Aslan, Ph.D., at the University of ...

Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...

Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers illustrated the cryo-electron microscopic (cryo-EM) structure of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...

A new way of imaging frozen biological samples using electron microscopy is providing new glimpses into the nanoscopic world of cells. Images reveal bent in-vitro tubulin microtubules next to and in a ...

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 specimens. Now, ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Any use of the resources at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Electron Microscopy shared resource requires acknowledgement of the core in publication as follows: “Electron microscopy data were ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...
