Observing proteins precisely within cells is extremely important for many branches of research but has been a significant technical challenge. A research group has now overcome this hurdle: With a novel method.

Scientists and engineers have developed a new coating for plastic particles that are used in 3D printing, which significantly increases their functionality and opens up new possibilities for commercial application.

In an effort to understand how and why 2D interfaces take on the structures they do, researchers have developed a method to visualize the thermally-induced rearrangement of 2D materials using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Using a novel imaging technique to view cells in 3D, researchers have been able to identify two genes that control how melanoma skin cancer cells change shape – offering potential drug targets to prevent the cancer from spreading.

Researchers have developed a powerful, new technique to generate “movies” of changing protein structures and speeds of up to 50 frames per second.

Chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a more efficient way to extract lithium from waste liquids leached from mining sites, oil fields and used batteries.

The formation of new species can be more complex than previously imagined, highlights a new study that shows an Amazonian butterfly is a result of hybrid speciation 200,000 years ago.

Salk scientists observe cannabinol's neuroprotective properties in fruit flies and identify cannabinol analogs that could serve as promising future therapeutics for traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.

A team has constructed an improved mid-infrared microscope, enabling them to see the structures inside living bacteria at the nanometer scale.

Researchers have created sheets of gold metal measuring only a single atom layer thick. The new material, dubbed “goldene”, has unique properties that could see it become useful for catalysis, carbon dioxide conversion and much more.
