It’s not every day that a pioneering medical treatment is born in Manchester, New Hampshire, and tested across the nation and the world, expanding how it can be used and who it can help — including ...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the realm of human cell biology. Through the use of cryo-electron ...

It's a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across ...

For the first time, scientists using cryo-electron microscopy have discovered the structure and shape of key receptors connecting neurons in the brain's cerebellum, which is located behind the ...

Lithium-metal batteries have not hit the market yet, but if they do, they could be a solution to the everyday woes of the dwindling battery meter. They are cousins of the lithium-ion batteries found ...

Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) is an approach that allows the observation of hydrated biological specimens in their native environment at cryogenic temperatures in transmission electron microscopy ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

A new microscopy pipeline called “LICONN” (light-microscopy-based connectomics), developed at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), now offers a breakthrough. LICONN is the first ...

The researchers claim LICONN is the first technology beyond electron microscopy (EM) that is capable of reconstructing brain tissue with all the synaptic connections between neurons.

Kim Morgan has. The Halifax-based artist has been working with electron microscope scans of blood cells, belly button lint and more for a decade.

The new microscope, however, takes a quantum leap forward. It generates a single attosecond electron pulse, effectively freezing time at the scale of electron motion.
