Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

An atom has the same number of protons as electrons, so it is neutral − it has no overall charge. Now, most of the atoms in the universe are the two simplest kinds: hydrogen, which has one proton, ...

Electron holography microscopy is an advanced technique that can be used to visualize magnetic fields in materials at atomic resolution. In a recent study, researchers from Japan addressed some ...

A wonderland of world-class instruments The University’s extraordinary microscopic and nanoscopic instruments include atomic force microscopes, transmission electron microscopes, X-ray diffraction and ...

As electron microscopy technologies have improved and scientists have a greater knowledge of how to manipulate specific atom types, the complexity of the measurements, imaging and manipulation with ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) is pioneering advanced technology for the next-generation self-design and manufacture of electron microscopes (EMs). CityU is the first ...
