Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Greetings from the fourth dimension: Scientists glimpse 4D crystal structure using surface wave patterns by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Editors' notes ...

A team of chemists and agriculture specialists has developed a way to transform urea in wastewater, into percarbamide, which can be used as a fertilizer. In their paper published in the journal ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

The crystals in question are called quasicrystals because, while their atoms are arranged in repeating forms like an ordinary crystal, they display more complex and unpredictable forms of symmetry.

The new technique allows scientists to see each particle that makes up colloidal crystals and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. Image Credit: Shihao Zang, NYU This is a powerful platform for ...

To capture the clearest and most direct images of a “Wigner crystal”, a structure made entirely of electrons, researchers used a special kind of microscope and two pieces of graphene unusually ...

Crystal structures are common and familiar to us in substances such as salt, ice and sand. Scientists define them by their regular patterns and symmetry — the way the atoms and molecules are organized ...
