Electron Microscopy – News and Features

Researchers have discovered toxic protein particles, shaped like umbrellas, that soil bacteria known as Streptomyces secrete to squelch competitors, especially others of their own species.

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.

Scientists have found a way to transform metal waste into a highly efficient catalyst to make hydrogen from water, a discovery that could make hydrogen production more sustainable.

Researchers have uncovered how bacteriophages disarm antibiotic-resistant bacteria, opening doors to the possibility of new treatment methods.

Scientists have developed a new 3D hydrogel material that can adsorb – and degrade – large volumes of microplastic.

A new study details how nutrient-starved cells break down protein transport stations to deal with stressful conditions.

Researchers have unveiled nanoscale voids in three dimensions, using high-powered microscopy and mathematical theory. This advancement is poised to improve the performance of many filtration materials.

The molecular mechanisms behind the action of the hepatitis B and D virus inhibitor bulevirtide have been revealed, potentially paving the way to more targeted treatments.

The new plant-based polymers biodegrade in under seven months, even at the microplastic level.

Using only a single electron microscope image, researchers can determine the type and exact position of guest atoms in nanoporous materials.
