As flu season approaches, it’s a good time to look back at the invention that made virology possible. Viruses weren’t well understood until somewhat recently, in part because they couldn’t be seen ...
Advanced cryo-electron microscopy technology allows researchers to visualize measles viruses at high resolution in their native state.Movie courtesy of Zunlong Ke and Elizabeth Wright Researchers have ...
A research group has successfully determined, for the first time in the world, the capsid (outer shell) structure of Melbournevirus—a member of the giant virus family—at a resolution of 4.4 Å using ...
How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...
Current calibration methods rely on artificially constructed DNA structures or specific cellular features, each with significant drawbacks. DNA-based rulers require complex chemical synthesis and only ...
We’ll understand if you’re puzzled by the eerie image below. It’s a tiny piece of the Lassa virus, which can double a person over in pain, make their head swell and, in some cases, quickly result in ...

In 1931, electromagnetic lenses helped scientists see a world ordinary microscopes could not reach
In 1931, electron microscopy took a major step forward. The first prototype electron microscope is generally dated to 1931, but Ruska later described the first electron microscope in the modern sense ...
