Specifically, the electron detector is designed for use in a scanning electron microscope, which is typically used for inspecting the surface of a sample and retrieving a high-resolution, 3D image ...

The last time we used a scanning electron microscope (a SEM), it looked like something from a bad 1950s science fiction movie. These days SEMs, like the one at the IBM research center, look like ...

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...

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 ...

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

A new study from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has upended decades of neuroscience dogma, revealing that ...

An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich has succeeded in visualizing magnetism inside solids with ...

You may know brain freeze by one of its other names: an ice cream headache, a cold-stimulus headache, or sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, but no matter what you call it, it hurts like hell.

Large-scale microscopy combined with tissue clearing and expansion enables nanoscale imaging of centimeter scale specimens.
