For delicate samples such as individual proteins, electron microscopy faces a fundamental tradeoff. Producing a clearer image generally requires sending more electrons through the specimen, but ...

Chiral metal complexes are getting a fresh look as potential drugs, but unlike organic drug candidates, their "handedness," ...

Egyptian blue predates the pyramids' final form. Egyptian artisans were producing it before 3100 BCE, making it, as far as ...

Scientists are combining an electron microscope with a quantum computer to squeeze far more information from each electron. The approach could reveal faint details with fewer electrons, helping ...

Iron is an essential micronutrient, but excess iron can damage cells and increase cancer risk. While many cells die from iron-induced oxidative stress, a subset survives and may become cancerous.

A study has linked reduced fungal viability with changes in cell-wall chemistry, surface structure and nanoscale mechanical ...

A seemingly impossible challenge revealed how close theorists are to truly predicting the future in computational ...

This 2DEG forms the operating basis of GaN HEMTs. Across the broader family of wurtzite nitrides, polarisation underpins ...

Regulators are steering drug testing away from animals, and the systems stepping in each capture only a slice of a living body.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have found that CADD522, a compound originally developed to treat cancer, may ...

American researchers have discovered that simvastatin is able to bind to the RyR1 calcium channel in muscle cells and keep it ...
