Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

Left panels: Atomic Force Microscopy images show how circular DNA can shift from a relaxed shape into a tightly twisted form, and how the gene-editing protein Cas9 binds to this coiled DNA (Credit: ...

Integrative taxonomy combining mitochondrial DNA, comparative morphology, and egg scanning electron microscopy has revealed ...

Electron microscopes are used wherever particularly small details need to be imaged. But from a strictly physical point of view, every electron in a conventional electron microscope represents a ...

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 ...
