New Electron Microscopy Tech Breaks into the Elusive Realm of Small Molecules

A central column of metallic, cylindrical lenses and optical components is arranged diagonally, through which a light blue cone of light passes, projecting onto a rectangular detector plate at the bottom. A bright, neon-purple laser beam intersects the middle of the column, causing a glowing orange wave at the intersection. The setup is set against a dark purple background patterned with faint ripples small, repeating blue and red protein-like structures.

Combatting Antibiotic Resistance with Nanotechnology, Robotics, and AI

A robot arm drops liquid onto an endless conveyor belt of tiny chip devices. Inset images show these chips each hold many individual droplets arranged in a grid, and within this liquid, bacteriophages are attacking a bacteria.

The National Academy of Sciences Elects Two Berkeley Lab Researchers

Cracking the Code: Using AI to Solve Difficult-to-Map Proteins

Graphic showing a timeline of progress in protein design from 2010 to 2024. In 2010, labeled “Impossible,” a small chemical structure is shown. In 2012, labeled “Limited,” a simple ribbon-like protein fragment appears. In 2017, labeled “Possible,” a more complex folded protein structure is shown with scissors icons indicating editable segments. In 2024, labeled “Practical,” a large, detailed multi-part protein complex is displayed. The layout visually conveys increasing capability and complexity over time.

From Sequence to Structure: A Fast Track for RNA Modeling

Two 3D renderings of a RNA molecule with a twisted ribbon-like backbone with multicolored bars protruding. The image on top has a blue backbone, the image below is pink, and also includes purple balls placed at certain points of the backbone.

Unraveling the Mysteries of DNA Damage in the Brain

Immunofluorescent staining of mouse brain, showing neurons and glial cells in the hippocampus. Blue are cell nuclei, while green are microfilaments of the cell extensions, red is a marker of DNA damage and is predominantly in the neurons.
