Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

Electron microscopes are some of the most powerful tools in science, allowing us to capture images at a scale so tiny that we can observe individual atoms! Unlike traditional light microscopes ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process required of all cell types (1 – 3). Replicative polymerases (Pol), such as the leading-strand polymeraseε (Polε) and lagging-strand Polδ, synthesize DNA with ...

This technique, called volumetric DNA microscopy, creates a 3D image of an entire organism from the inside out, giving scientists an unprecedented view of genetic sequences and where they are ...

Cryo-electron microscopy unveils the precise mechanics of DNA replication, unlocking new insights into molecular biology and potential antiviral therapies.

Cryo-electron microscopy reveals hidden mechanics of DNA replication, sheds new light on cancer target ...

Using a STEM-in-SEM conversion holder, we can convert a scanning electron microscope into a scanning transmission microscope. Neat! ==== Timeline ==== 0:00 Intro 0:27 How an SEM works 1:50 ...

Next, what’s known as an optical gating pulse initiates, allowing an infinitesimal timeframe for a one-attosecond electron pulse to then emit from the microscope.

Using high-powered cryo-electron microscopes, Li, O'Donnell and their teams revealed previously unknown facets of the leading strand clamp loaders' structures, including a "hook" that forces the ...

Currently, one of the most effective techniques to study the mechanisms of DNA replication is using the electron microscopy. Typical imaging experiments result in terabytes of image data, where ...

Researchers have succeeded for the first time in filming the interactions of light and matter in an electron microscope with attosecond time resolution.
