Recent developments in direct electron detectors as well as improved image data analysis have led to vast improvement in the resolution achievable by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) ...

Entry of viruses into host cells to establish infection is a highly coordinated process. The molecular and chemical details of this process are relatively clear for enveloped viruses, such as ...

Bohr’s atomic model was utterly revolutionary when it was presented in 1913 but, although it is still taught in schools, it became obsolete decades ago. However, its creator also developed a much ...

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Atomic AI, a biotechnology company fusing cutting-edge machine learning with state-of-the-art structural biology to unlock RNA drug discovery, announced ...

Picture an atom, and you may imagine spherical electrons orbiting a nucleus packed with particles like neutrons. Only certain orbits - quantum levels - are possible. It's a simplistic model, yet ...

For anyone that’s fiddled around with a magnifying glass, it’s pretty easy to understand how optical microscopes work. And as microscopes are just an elaboration on a simple hand lens, so too are ...

The scientist John Dalton carried out a series of experiments. He concluded that all matter was made of tiny particles called atoms. He suggested that an atom was a tiny solid ball. He published his ...

Niels Bohr's Nobel Lecture on December 11, 1922, titled The Structure of the Atom, is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. This ...

Since the beginning of time, human beings have sought to understand what the universe and everything within it is made up of. And while ancient magi and philosophers conceived of a world composed of ...
