Cryogenic electron microscopy shows that the rare Flemish mutation in the amyloid-β precursor protein drives Aβ40 (an amyloid-β peptide) to assemble into a distinct filament fold. By exposing a ...

Julian Klein and Frances Ross explain how electron microscopes are becoming tools for engineering defects inside crystalline materials.

Science has increasingly used artificial intelligence (AI) as a kind of microscope—sorting data, analyzing images and revealing hidden patterns. Now a new shift is underway: AI that not only breaks ...

When it comes to imaging materials, the colder the sample is, the better. At room temperature, atoms hum with thermal energy and appear blurry in images, but at ultra-cold temperatures, near absolute ...

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 ...
