Building the Computational Mind for the “Swiss Army Knife” of Microscopes

A composite microscopy image divided into five pinwheel-like triangular segments, each showing the same cellular structure using a different imaging technique. Glowing green, blue, orange, and grayscale patterns reveal varied subcellular details, with a dashed square highlighting a central area of interest.

Huntington’s Disease Discovery Opens Door to a New Class of Treatments

A man in lab coat, gloves, and protective eyewear examines a petri dish beside a woman in a lab coat inside a lab room. A bunsen burner flame can be seen in the foreground.

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.
