First cryo-EM structures of angiotensin-converting enzyme pave the way for better drugs to treat heart disease
The first full-length structures of the human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) have been determined by researchers from the University of Cape Town (UCT) using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). ACE is a blood pressure-regulating protein that is.....»»
Physicists Discover a "Family" of Robust, Superconducting Graphene Structures
In 2018, MIT researchers found that if two graphene layers are stacked at a very specific "magic" angle, the twisted bilayer structure could exhibit robust superconductivity, a widely sought material state in which an electrical current can flow thro.....»»

When it comes to graphene, it appears that superconductivity runs in the family......»»
Chemokine receptor CX3CR1 structures uncover mechanism of cholesterol regulation in activation
Chemokine receptors regulate the migration of immune cells and are involved in inflammation, tumor construction and pathogen infection. Chemokines are divided into four subfamilies according to the number and distribution of conserved cysteines at th.....»»
Revealing atomistic structures behind AFM imaging
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows us to visualize the dynamics of single biomolecules during their functional activity. All observations are, however, restricted to regions accessible by a fairly big probing tip during scanning. Hence, AFM images.....»»
Gecko feet are coated in an ultra-thin layer of lipids that help them stay sticky
Geckos are famous for having grippy feet that allow them to scale vertical surfaces with ease. They get this seeming superpower from millions of microscopic, hairlike structures on their toes......»»

Greater insight into the pinning effects of skyrmions
When researchers use an optical Kerr microscope to zoom in on thin films of magnetic material, given the right conditions, they observe a sort of micro-scale magnetic hurricane. Physicists call these whirlwind-like magnetic structures skyrmions. The.....»»
Advocating a new paradigm for electron simulations
Although most fundamental mathematical equations that describe electronic structures are long known, they are too complex to be solved in practice. This has hampered progress in physics, chemistry and the material sciences. Thanks to modern high-perf.....»»
