Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy ...

In photosynthesis, harnessing the power of the Sun is made possible by the flow of electrons from one protein to another inside an organelle called the chloroplast. This organelle contains a complex ...

An international research collaboration has shed new light on the molecular basis of gene expression, the fundamental biological process that underpins how all organisms use their genetic information.

He begins by examining the water under a microscope but finds no visible impurities or microorganisms. To delve deeper, he takes the sample to a laboratory for professional testing. Image Credit ...

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...

Once inside the cells, the chloroplasts retained their structure and function, staying within intracellular vesicles near the nucleus. Using advanced imaging techniques, such as super-resolution ...

The study is published in the journal ACS Applied Nano Materials. Conventional electron microscopy often produces noisy images that obscure rubber's internal contours. The proposed method ...

Using advanced imaging techniques like atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering, the team characterized the unique shapes and arrangement ...

“We thought that the chloroplasts would be digested ... using multiple imaging methods such as electron, confocal, and superresolution microscopy. Meanwhile, researchers utilized a strategy ...

In this paper, the authors designed polymer networks to mediate electron transfer, imitating the complex redox reactions within chloroplasts. They aimed to create artificial chloroplasts by ...

A Japanese team has developed a technique to insert chloroplasts isolated from algae into animal cells, a feat that could revolutionize sustainable energy and how artificial meat and organs are ...
