image: Researchers in the United States and Spain have discovered that an atomic force microscope -- a tool widely used in nanoscale imaging -- works differently in watery environments, a step toward ...

A new way of imaging frozen biological samples using electron microscopy is providing new glimpses into the nanoscopic world of cells. Images reveal bent in-vitro tubulin microtubules next to and in a ...

Researchers have developed a printing technique using cells and molecules normally found in natural tissues to create constructs that resemble biological structures. Researchers from Queen Mary ...

"How do the building blocks in our cells know how to organize a particular structure?" asks Prof. Jan Brugués. "Thanks to the enormous progress in molecular biology in recent decades, we now have a ...

Researchers at Google DeepMind have developed AlphaFold 3, an AI model that can predict the structure of and interactions between biological molecules including proteins, DNA and RNA, and small ...

AlphaFold 3, unveiled to the world on May 9, is the latest version of an algorithm designed to predict the structures of proteins—vital molecules used by all life—from the "instruction code" in their ...

The concept of energy landscapes promises to connect aspects of biology, chemistry and physics. A recent paper highlights the need for continuous exchange of information between fields to maximize the ...

Spray-coated carbon flower sensors on stretchable substrates detect six biomarkers at sub-nanomolar levels and distinguish ...

Water, organic molecules, and inorganic ions are the constituents of cells. Water constitutes the greatest fraction of the three, accounting for almost three-quarters of the total mass of a cell. The ...
